Abstract
Abstract Long glass fiber reinforcement allows the use of extremely low molecular weight polymer in a composite which is formable in a mold held at ambient temperatures by preheating the composite sheet outside of the mold. The glass-reinforced, low molecular weight polyamide, per se, may be formed in a conventional metal stamping mold and exhibits excellent performance and good surface properties.
