Advanced Composites Manufacturing and Plastics Processing

<p><span style=color: rgba(23 43 77 1)>This reprint focuses on the latest scientific development of advanced composites manufacturing and plastics processing. It contains research articles addressing new process developments modeling/simulation monitoring/control and performance or application issues with either experimental or numerical approaches. All types of polymers (thermoplastics or thermosets) and fibers/fillers (glass carbon ceramic mineral vegetal ...) are concerned whether they come from recycled bio-based or fossil feedstocks. The contributions are clustered in three fields: (i) advanced composites manufacturing (coupling/hybridization of processes; automated fiber yarn or tape placement and additive manufacturing; long fiber thermoplastics compounding; fibers and fabrics production; manufacturing of sustainable bio-based composites; laminated glass/polymer composites) (ii) machining milling and drilling of polymers composites and multi-materials laminates and (iii) polymer processing and compounding (functionalization; plastics recycling).</span></p>
