Abstract:
A structural component of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material comprising:a shape-forming long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix and separate, single load-bearing plastified and consolidated continuous fiber strands with a thermoplastic matrix in a defined position within the structural component, the positions of the shape-forming long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix and the separate, single load-bearing plastified and consolidated continuous fiber strands with a thermoplastic matrix defining interfaces therebetween; said continuous fiber strands being interconnected and having at least one load-transmitting flat internal connecting area between two continuous fiber strands; wherein the single continuous fiber strands form a load-bearing supporting structure which is integrated in and thermoplastically bonded to the long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix at the interfaces therebetween.
