Abstract

The linearity of the modulus of elasticity of a randomly reinforced composite as a function of the volume content of fibre filler is experimentally established. The basic factors that determine the modulus of elasticity of the thermoplastic composite are determined: the modulus of elasticity, shape, and volume content of filler. The modulus of elasticity of the composite is not a function of the adhesion of the fibre filler to the matrix. Realization of the strength of fibre fillers in randomly reinforced composites should obey the mechanisms that hold for unidirectional, continuously reinforced composites with consideration of the effect of the filler and process parameters on the rheology and morphology of the binder.
