  Abstract

Carbon fiber composites are preferred in transportation sector due to their high specific strength, modulus and resistance to corrosive environments. This paper reports on usage of Polyamide 6 in automobile exterior components by adding 30 % PP, PP-g-MA (Polypropylene-grafted-Maleic anhydride) as a compatibilizer and Short Carbon fibers (SCF) as reinforcement. The effect of compatibilizer on the tensile and impact properties of the composites has been studied. Composite with 3 phr PP-g-MA and 5 wt% SCF revealed highest tensile strength and only 10 % reduction in its value due to water saturation. Microstructure analysis and Grey relational analysis confirmed the experimental results.
