    Abstract: Manufacture of a pre-impregnated fibrous material which contains continuous fibers and a thermoplastic matrix, the material being made as a plurality of unidirectional parallel ribbons or sheets, and the method involving a step of pre-impregnating, in dry conditions, N parallel strands divided into X groups of Ni strands, by the thermoplastic matrix in powder form in a tank, ΣNi=N et X 3, one thereof from each series being immersed in the powder, each group of strands running on the same number Y of tensioning parts, and the parallel strands being separated by a spacing at least equal to the width of each strand.

    Abstract: The use of a composition including a mixture of at least one non-reactive thermoplastic polymer of Tg >40° C., especially >100° C., in particular >120° C., and at least one reactive thermoplastic prepolymer, with a fibrous material, for the preparation of a fibrous material impregnated with the composition, the composition having an initial melt viscosity during the impregnation, as measured in plate-plate rheology under 1 Hz and 2% strain, at a temperature of 300° C., of less than the viscosity of the same composition devoid of reactive prepolymer, measured under the same conditions, and/or a ductility, after in situ polymerization of the reactive thermoplastic prepolymer in the composition during the impregnation and after the impregnation, that is at least equivalent to the ductility of the same composition devoid of non-reactive thermoplastic polymer, and of which said reactive thermoplastic prepolymer is polymerized to the same number-average molecular mass (Mn).

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an impregnated fibrous material including a fibrous material made of continuous fibers and at least one thermoplastic polymer matrix, the method including pre-impregnating the fibrous material while it is in the form of a roving or several parallel rovings with the thermoplastic material and heating the thermoplastic matrix for melting, or maintaining in the molten state, the thermoplastic polymer after pre-impregnation, the at least one heating step being carried out by means of at least one heat-conducting spreading part (E) and at least one heating system, with the exception of a heated calendar, the roving or the rovings being in contact with part or all of the surface of the at least one spreading part (E) and partially or wholly passing over the surface of the at least one spreading part (E) at the level of the heating system.
