Swelling, viscosity and static-mechanical behaviour of polyester composites based on hybrid filler system

Swelling and static‐mechanical properties of fly ash/mica hybrid reinforced unsaturated polyester composites in cured state have been discussed with special reference to the effect of loading composition, nature of filler surfaces and surface treatment of fillers. Processing behaviour of the composi...

Description
Summary:Swelling and static‐mechanical properties of fly ash/mica hybrid reinforced unsaturated polyester composites in cured state have been discussed with special reference to the effect of loading composition, nature of filler surfaces and surface treatment of fillers. Processing behaviour of the composites in uncured state was determined through the viscosity measurements. In terms of swelling behaviour of the composites, silanization of fly ash and mica surfaces causes a significant decrease in swelling compared to unsilanized counterparts. In cured state, addition of mica into fly ash polyester composition causes increase in tensile properties.
