Prediction on Mechanical Properties of Fly Ash Reinforced Polymer Composite Material

Fly ash with different weight ratios was used as a reinforcing material for the composite (polyester + 5% short carbon fiber) to make hybrid material. The ratio of fiber polymer constant, and fly were (5%, 10%, 15%)wt. mechanical properties studied compared without addition ash. results showed an increase in tensile strength modulus elasticity by increasing percentage ash, while there no significant compressive value except reinforced 15% improvement measured composites samples
