The influence of fibre length, diameter and concentration on the impact performance of long glass-fibre reinforced polyamide 6,6
The paper presents the first published quantification of the different relative contributions of fibre length and diameter to the levels of notched, unnotched and multiaxial impact resistance of glass fibre polyamide composites. Described as “inspirational” by Ems-Grivory, a major producer of glass fiber reinforced polyamides (philipp.harder@emsgrivory.com). Being followed up by Yan at University of Southern Queensland, Australia (Composites Part B 46:2013;221) and used by researchers at South China University of Technology, Chinese Academy of Science, Shenyang, China, Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany, Sichuan University, China and the Hassan at the University of Malaya (ahassan@um.edu.my).
