Abstract
In-situ polymerization of ε-caprolactam opens up new opportunities in the production of fiber-reinforced plastic components with a thermoplastic matrix. It can eliminate the need for using prefabricated semi-finished products, thus adding flexibility to component design. For the first time, numerical flow simulations coupled with the reaction kinetics of the material system are possible. This enables the description of the effects that occur in the molding of complex components using in-situ polymerization as early as in the component development and mold design phases.
