The influence of structure of hybrid yarns glass/PA6 on mechanical properties of composites

The fabrication process of thermoplastic composites using hybrid fabrics co mposed of yarns made of glass and PA6 fibres as prepregs is presented. The influence of the structure of hybrid yams produced using commingled, textur ising, twisting and friction spinning technology on the mechanical properti es of composites is discussed. The results of the investigation indicate th at the best tensile and bending properties of composites were achieved usin g fabrics made from texturing yarns produced under optimal conditions. Thes e optimal conditions should ensure the minimum destruction of filaments dur ing the blending process.
