Abstract
null null This paper presents results from mechanical tests on glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene laminates. Materials were manufactured in a press and the average rate of cooling from the forming temperature after pressing was varied from 0.23 to 55°C min−1. The cooling rate was found to affect the matrix structure and to strongly influence fracture behaviour. Faster cooling resulted in improved Mode I and Mode II fracture energies, and...
