Abstract
Glass fibers are used to reinforce plastics and to
improve their mechanical properties. But plastic filled
with glass fibers is a concern for molding of micro scale
plastic parts. The aim of this paper is to investigate the
effects of glass fiber on the replication quality and
mechanical properties of polymeric thin ribs. It
investigates the effect of feature size and gate location on distribution of glass fibers inside the molded parts. The results from this work indicate that glass filled plastic materials have poor replication quality and nonhomogeneous mechanical properties due to the nonuniform
distribution and orientation of glass fibers.
