Synthetic wollastonite nanofibers (SWN) were incorporated into polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) to study the effect of SWN content on mechanical, morphological, thermal, tribological and flammability properties. SWN led to an increment in tensile strength (6% at 1.0 phr) and Young’s modulus (13%...
