Glass Strand Bundle Size

The Izod impact strength of nylon 6/6 is affected by the linear effect of glass content and the quadratic effect of bundle size strand solids. 

The handbook features the relationships between the GRTP s and their properties—the relationships are displayed both in tabular form and graphically. The influence of composite variables—volume of glass fiber glass strand solids and bundle size glass filament diameter, length, and orientation—on properties are similarly displayed. 

Fig. 2-16 shows that using a constant bundle size of 400 x lO in and increasing glass content whUe reducing strand solids improves the impact strength of nylon 6/6.

Most of the modern man-made fibres are produced in the form of bundles of filaments (called strands), with each bundle consisting of several hundred (e.g. glass) to several thousand (e.g. carbon) filaments. The filaments in the strand are usually held together by means of a sizing, which is a thin polymeric treatment applied on the filaments during their production process. In the production process of the composite, the strand can be separated into the individual filaments to obtain a uniform distribution in the matrix, or the filaments can remain bundled, resulting...
