Mechanical Properties of Basalt-fiber-reinforced Polyamide-6/Polypropylene Composites

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Basalt-fiber-reinforced PP/PA blends were prepared by their homogenization in a twin-screw extruder followed by injection molding. The effects of different relative content of components of the composites obtained on their tensile and impact strength and flexural properties are investigated.
