INFLUENCE OF GLASS FIBER ON THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL PROPERTIES

PROJECT DESCRIPTIONPlastic materials, though widely used in automotive industry, lack stiffness and mechanical strength. The most common way to improve the mechanical properties of a plastic material is to add fillers, like glass fibers (GF), which improve the structur-al properties like strength, stiffness and reduce the part shrinkage, but also impart some unwanted conditions and properties in the process/product, like increase in density, decrease in melt flow and increase in brittleness, etc. Some properties de-pend significantly on the fiber orientation, which in turn depends on flow direction, geometrical feature of the mold and gate positions. Therefore, the project objectives are: - Influence of t GF content on mechanical properties (tensile strength, fatigue, elastic modulus, elongation @ break, impact strength, etc.); - Influence of GF content on thermal properties (thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, deflection temperature under load); - Influence of GF content on environmental properties (water/humidity absorption, etc.)
