Experimental Investigation on the Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon

Experimental Investigation on the Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon

In this study, the influence of different weight percentages of glass fiber (GF) reinforcement on the mechanical properties of nylon (PA6) composite is investigated. Test specimens of pure nylon, 95% nylon + 5% GF, 90% nylon + 10% GF, 85% nylon + 15% GF and 80% nylon + 20% GF are prepared using an i...
