Property examples of a 2 nanosilicate-filled polyamide

Some materials are moulded or shaped by means of semi-manufactured products the thermoplastic matrix and the reinforcement are already assembled before processing, for example [Pg.814]

GMTs are thermoplastic resin sheets or blanks reinforced with glass mat. Possibly, unidirectional continuous fibres can also be used. [Pg.814]

The blanks of this consolidated material can be shaped in steel tools by heating under pressure to a semi-molten state. The matrix is generally polypropylene (in more than 95% of GMTs) or, more rarely, thermoplastic polyester. [Pg.814]

The parts have good mechanical properties but the creep behaviour is not as good as for thermoset composites. [Pg.814]

High-performance GMTs are being developed with matrices such as polyethersulfone, polyetherimide, polyamide-imide, PPS, PEEK. [Pg.814]
