This study reports the effect of the polyamide 6 (PA6) crystal structure at the interphase and around the carbon fiber (CF) on the mechanical properties of CF-reinforced PA6 composites. The transverse tensile properties of the unidirectional composites and the four-point bending properties of the qu...
