In this blog post, we compare selected design performance properties vs. densities of glass fiber filled high performance polymers.
Glass fiber is the most commonly used filler in high performance
polymers. The influence on the properties of polymers by adding glass fibers varies: in PTFE, glass fibers improve mainly the compression and wear
properties.
In comparison to unfilled semi-crystalline polymers, glass
fiber reinforced materials exhibit increased mechanical strength and higher
rigidity. Furthermore, improved creep strength and dimensional stability are
achieved by adding glass fibers. In amorphous polymers, glass fibers improve
the thermal and mechanical performance, compared to unfilled amorphous polymers,
in a limited range.
In the following, the different property figures are shown.
