Abstract
In this research study, the mechanical properties of several Polymer matrix composites are investigated. These composites are multi-phase materials in which reinforcing materials are properly mixed with a polymer matrix. More precisely, nylon 6 reinforced with 5, 15 and 25 wt% of silicon carbide (SiC) and nylon 6 reinforced with 5, 15 and 25 wt% of boron carbide (B4C) by an injection moulding process at three different injection pressures are considered. Specific attention is paid to the yield strength and Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT) of these composites. The Taguchi technique is used to optimize the process parameters such as reinforcement material, its percentage and the injection pressure. It is observed that 25% B4C reinforced PMC with 100 MPa and 80 MPa injection pressure have optimized yield strength and HDT respectively.
