What is/are the benefit (s) of short fibre reinforcements? A) Increased stiffness only. B) Increased strength and increased Toughness. C) Increased Toughness and increased flexibility. D) None of the above.

Answer: B) Increased strength and increased toughness

Explanation: Short fibre reinforcement has the major property of being tough and has high strength. Short fibre reinforcement is basically a process of addition of the short fibre to the thermoplastic materials to make the improvement in their quality and working by increasing their strength. They also have application in many areas because of their hardness property as well as being cost - effective. Thus, the option (b) is the correct option.
