Abstract
The addition of glass fibers is shown to dramatically alter the relati onship of fracture resistance to blend composition found in unreinforc ed nylon 6.6/ABS blends. While ABS decreased the initiation toughness and greatly increased the crack-propagation toughness of pure nylon 6. 6, glass fibers increased the initiation toughness of the alloys.
