Abstract
Aromatic polyamideimide (PAI) films were reinforced by aromatic polyamide fibers as a unidirectionally oriented composite (Type I) and bidirectionally oriented laminate composite (Type II). The thermal expansion of the composite films was investigated with respect to the direction of fiber orientation. The thermal expansion behavior was anisotropic in the unidirectionally reinforced composite films, and considerably isotropic in the bidirectionally reinforced composite film. The thermal expansion coefficients based on thermoelastic models are calculated and compared with experimental data.
