Synthetic fiber reinforcement in polymer and their enhancement [4].
Composite
Enhancement in properties
Short glass fiber-ABS
Tensile strength of the composite increases by 135%. The maximum tensile strength is found at 18% fiber content.
Short carbon fiber-ABS
Tensile strength of the composite increases by 114%. The maximum tensile strength is obtained at 40% fiber content.
Continuous carbon fiber-nylon
Tensile strength of the composite increases by 465%. The maximum tensile strength is peaked at 34% fiber content.
Continuous carbon fiber-PLA
Tensile strength of the composite increases by 332%. The maximum tensile strength is obtained at 6.6 wt.%.
