Thermal Degradation of Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polyamide 6,6 Composites: Investigation by Accelerated Thermal Ageing.

ABSTRACT: Polyamide-based glass fibre-reinforced composites are extensively used in electrical and automotive applications due to their excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. However, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to significant degradation, affecting their long-term performance and reliability. This study investigates the thermal ageing behaviour of polyamide 6,6 composites containing halogenated flame retardants used for electrical applications. The objective of this research is to evaluate the extent of degradation through accelerated ageing tests and to develop an Arrhenius-type ageing model to predict the long-term performance of these materials. This study examines the effects of thermal ageing at temperatures between 160 and 210 °C on flexural properties
