Robust manufacturing technologies for active thermoplastic composite structures with integrated piezoceramic modules (B04)

• Subject Area: Lightweight Construction, Textile Technology
• Term: from 2006 to 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 21440441

In the first and second period, the main focus of the subproject B04 was the development of technological fundamentals for the highly productive manufacturing of thermoplastic fiber-reinforced composites with integrated piezoceramic modules (TPM). Objective of the third period is the transfer of the developed process knowledge to derive a high-volume process for the manufacturing of selected structures with integrated leads, TPM and electronic components. For the processing of carbon fiber-reinforced high performance polymers the existing production research complex is extended by an adapted temperature-control transfer system. Furthermore, a comprehensive process analysis will be performed.
