| Abstract: | In this study, the influence of short glass fiber and lamellar particle mica fillers on the mechanical properties of polyamide 6 was investigated. Reinforcement materials of 10 to 30% by weight were added to polyamide 6 polymers. Tests were carried out and the results showed that the strength and flexural modulus of the polyamide 6 composite increased with the increase in added short glass fiber and mica. However, tensile and flexural strength showed insensitivity to the increase in mica reinforcement content. Moreover, the impact strength and elongation at break values decreased with the increase in mica reinforcement ratio. |
