Why plastic materials use glass fiber reinforced
Its plastic is relatively brittle, in order to fall resistance, compression, increase strength and toughness. It is a reason to add steel to the inside of the cement board. Notebook shells usually add fiber.
Unlike glass fibers, plastic reinforcements are based on the chemical composition of different plastics, through the corresponding chemical effect to improve the plastic strength. Mainly used for a variety of modified plastics (including glass fiber reinforced, flame retardant, halogen-free flame retardant, mineral fill, etc.) and ordinary (including renewable) plastic. Different types of plastic reinforcements, respectively, modified PP ,, PE, ABS, HIPS, PBT, PA, PC / ABS and other plastic varieties, in a small amount of the use of conditions, can significantly improve the plastic and plastic products, mechanical mechanical strength and Impact strength.
Some physical properties of plastic are generally worse than metal, adding glass fiber can improve the modulus of plastic products, but also can enhance the heat resistance of plastic products, but after adding glass fiber, the plastic will become more brittle, toughness decreased.
