Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Buckminster Fullerene (C60) Added Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyamide 66 Multiscale Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, Buckminster Fullerene and glass fiber reinforced Polyamide 66 multiscale composites were produced using laboratory type twin screw extruder and injection molding machines, respectively. The glass fiber reinforcement was set as 30 wt % and samples A, B and C were produced with 0.1, 0.5 and 2.0 wt % Buckminster Fullerene addition besides the glass fiber reinforcement. Tensile tests were conducted and their results were compared with samples having only 30 wt % glass fiber reinforcement to investigate the effect of Buckminster Fullerene addition. The morphological structure of the multiscale composites were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis.
