Polymer Composites for Engineering Applications: Mechanical, Tribological and Thermal Characteristics

This book provides a complete insight a new fabrication process of different fillers reinforced Polyamide 6 (PA6) composites and an investigation of mechanical attributes such as tensile, flexural, impact and hardness features. The various parameters such as speed, load and weight % of composition are applied to identified the tribological characteristics. Identification of thermal stability of composites through Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Derivative thermogravimetry (DTG). Characterisation techniques of SEM employed for inspected the tensile fracture behaviour and wear mechanism of polymer composites. FTIR analytical technique operated for understand the structure of individual molecules and the composition of molecular mixtures.
