Implication

Investigation reveals enhanced tensile strength in glass fiber reinforced polymer composites, suggesting better performance with increased reinforcement levels.

Key Points

The ultimate tensile strength peaked at 49.7 MPa for the composite with 30% short glass fiber, indicating significant strength advantages.
Fractured specimens transitioned from ductile in neat ABS to brittle in SGF composites, showing changes in mechanical behavior with reinforcement.
Microstructural analysis showed strong bonding between glass fiber and ABS, leading to improved mechanical properties across tested samples.
The presence of 30% SGF decreased material elongation, highlighting a trade-off between strength and flexibility in these composites.
