TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Component: The thermoplastic composition comprises a functionalized polyolefin. The reinforcing fibers include fiber(s) co-mingled with nylon, polyester, and polypropylene. The sizing compound contains the group(s), which includes polyurethane, polyurea, and their isothiocyanate derivatives. The finished article is a molded part composed of thermoplastic polymer(s) containing a quantity of reinforcement fibers dispersed in uniform manner, the reinforcement fibers oriented in a filamentized relationship to one another and at least a portion of the fibers having an average length of greater than or equal to0.5 inch. The article has a mounting bracket adapted to hold associated brake system (ABS) module, the bracket being contiguously attached to the battery tray. Preferred Parameter: The reinforcing fibers are present as discrete lengths of greater than or equal toapproximately0.5 inch. The maximum temperature achieved is between 450-650degreesF. Preferred Composition: The reinforcing fibers are present in greater than 30, preferably between 35-55 wt.%. Preferred Material: The reinforcing fibers are from carbon fibers, alumina fibers, metallic fibers, ceramic fibers, aramid fibers, and/or preferably glass fibers. Preferred Process: The knead melting step occurs in a device capable of achieving a compression ratio between 2.0:1-2.9:1, where device contains a three-section screw having a length, the three-section screw having an initial feed zone, an intermediate transition zone, and a final metering zone, where feed section comprises between 23.0-28.0% of the total screw length, the transition section comprises between 47.0-67.0% of the total screw length, and the metering section comprises between 9.0-26.0% of the total screw length. The knead melting process at a temperature to melt the thermoplastic polymer into a mass, to surround and encase the oriented reinforcement fibers present in the initial admixture. The introduced material experiences a gradual temperature increase up to and through the temperature, to melt the thermoplastic material. The maximum temperature achieved initiates melting of the sizing material associated with the reinforcement fibers.
