Thermo-mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester reinforced with silicon carbide powder and with chopped glass fiber

الملخص EN

The work studied the effect of fine silicon carbide (SiC) powder with (0,3,5 ,7) wt % on the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester composite in the presence of a fixed amount of chopped glass fiber.

The hand lay-up technique was employed to prepare the required samples.

Results showed that tensile, impact strength and thermal conductivity increased with increasing the weight fraction of reinforced materials.
