  • System and Method for Forming Fiber Reinforced Polymer Tape
    Publication number: 20140175696
    Abstract: Systems and methods for forming fiber reinforced polymer tapes are disclosed. A method may include, for example, traversing a polymer impregnated roving through a system comprising an inlet and an outlet, applying a consolidation pressure within the system to the polymer impregnated roving, and applying a smoothing pressure within the system to the polymer impregnated roving. The method may further include adjusting a temperature of the polymer impregnated roving with a heat transfer device between the inlet and the outlet, the heat transfer device having a temperature different from a temperature of the polymer impregnated roving at the inlet.
