Nylon
, strength, stiffness and hard than type 6 nylons. The type 6 nylon ns are tougher and more flexible than 6/6 nylons, and they have a wider proing window. Nylon 6/12 absorbs less moisture and, refore, maintains both mechanical and ectrical properties better in high-humidity vironments. But the reduced...

The weak link in reinforced nylons
Fiber-filled nylons are mechanically stronger than the unfilled resin, except at knit and weld lines. This two-piece, injection-molded automotive intake manifold made of nylon 6 has its two halves vibration welded together. Fibers at the knit line oriented 90 to applied loads don't add strength...

Continuous-fiber Extrusions Make Strong Thermoplastics
. Thermoplastics include polypropylene, polyurethane, PET, nylon 6, and PEEK, with other materials to be available in the near future. Reinforcing fibers are primarily glass or carbon fiber, but the process is suitable for aramids, metaramids, and other fibers. Here's a closer look at some other features...
