This experimental work addresses the mechanical behavior of weaven UD glass fiber-thermoplastic composites designed for layered materials to be used in the automotive industry. The investigation was implemented in terms of the formulation of the PA66-based thermoplastic resins, the architecture of the fibrous reinforcement (warp spacer) and the glass fiber content. Longitudinal and transverse tensile tests results demonstrate the excellent mechanical behavior of these composites, which correlates with the rheological/permeability properties and wettability behaviour. © 2016 Author(s).
