Effect of Glass Fiber, Carbon Fiber, and Hybrid Form on Tensile Properties of Pa66/Pp Polymer Composites
Abstract: Mechanical loadings are applied to polymer materials, which are used in mechanical engineering applications. Usually, photopolymer fails to meet them, so some modification must be done to the polymer material. Adding fillers and fibers to the polymer will strengthen it by the polymer blending method. In this investigation, mechanical properties of glass fibers and carbon fibers and combinations of glass and carbon fiber are added to polymer composites. Considerable effort …
