Abstract :Rapid developments in today\'s automobile and electronics industry have made it necessary to use high-performance engineering polymers with higher strength and lighter weight. This present study focused on comparing and evaluating the mechanical behavior, volumetric shrinkage and rheological characteristics of two high performance engineering polymers 40% glass fiber reinforced and 30% glass fiber reinforced. Tensile rods and rectangular bar-type specimens were injected, under three process conditions, respectively. The values of tensile strength, strain (%), impact strength, volumetric shrinkage, melt flow index and density were obtained from the injection tests. The results exposed that the mechanical properties of 40 % glass fiber reinforced PPS polymer is better than those of 30% glass fiber reinforced PEI polymer as a result of amount of glass fiber. Moreover, the best dimensional stability associated with shrinkage has achieved due to the semi-crystalline nature of the PPS polymer. Finally, this study has proven that glass fiber added high performance advanced polymers display great potential in engineering applications, and may provide a good potential for the development and application of electronics and automotive.Keywords : Cam elyafı, enjeksiyon testleri, mekanik davranış, büzülme, reolojik karakteristik
