Influence of Modifier Content and Temperature on Toughness Behaviour of Polyamide

  • Chapter
Deformation and Fracture Behaviour of Polymers

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

The modification of polymers for improvement of properties is becoming increasingly important. In particular, polyamide has a wide application field as a construction polymer material. Because of the great variety of possibilities for modification for improvement of the mechanical properties, polyamide is a suitable material for made-to-measure solutions to polymers.
