Organic sheet
Organic sheets are fiber composite materials that are used in automobile and aircraft construction. There is further potential in the manufacture of front ends, seats, brackets and pedals.
Organic sheets are fiber matrix semi-finished products . They consist of a fiber fabric or a fiber structure that is embedded in a thermoplastic plastic matrix. The advantages of a thermoplastic matrix are the hot formability of the semi-finished products and the resulting shorter process times compared to conventional thermoset fiber composites. This is of particular interest in the automotive industry with its short process times. Frequently used fiber materials are glass, aramid and carbon (carbon). In woven and non-woven fabrics, the fibers can also run at right angles to one another, so that the mechanical properties of organic sheet such as stiffness, strength and thermal expansion can be better defined than with their metallic models. In contrast to sheet metal, the tensile and compressive behavior and other mechanical and thermal properties are not isotropic .
The method of shaping the organic sheets was derived from sheet metal processing and further developed for the composite material.
