Tensile, Flexural Properties of Unsaturated Polyester/Granite Powder and Unsaturated Polyester/Fly Ash Composites

Abstract

Composites are prepared using unsaturated polyester as the matrix and granite powder and fly ash as fillers. The tensile and flexural strengths of these composites are determined. The variation of tensile and flexural properties with weight fraction of the fillers is studied. The properties of granite powder composites are found to be better than those of fly ash composites.
