Measurement of tensile properties
Dumbbell shaped test pieces were cut from moulded
sheets previously conditioned for 24 h at room temperature.
Tensile tests were performed using an Instron IX3366
machine at a crosshead speed of 500 mm/min according to
ISO 37. The tensile modulus (M100 and M300), tensile
strength and elongation at break (Eb) were obtained from
the tests.
