Abstract

The effects of the amount of rubber, the concentration of fibres and the state of the fibre/matrix interface upon the mechanical behaviour of short glass fibre-reinforced rubber-toughened nylon 6 ternary blends are described. First, tensile tests were carried out on different intermediate materials and then on the ternary blends to derive the stress-strain curves and document the damage mechanisms. Fracture toughness tests were implemented on compact tension specimens and the results were correlated to fractographic observations and acoustic emission analysis to assess the role of the different constituents.
