Abstract
Knowledge of the flow behavior of fiber-reinforced thermoplastics is o f crucial importance for component designers. In the manufacture of th in-walled, ribbed components based on glass-mat-reinforced, thermoplas tic semi-finished products (GMT) and long-fiber-reinforced thermoplast ics (LFT), it was found that LFT had significantly better fiber flow p roperties in thin ribs than GMT.
