In this study, an experimental research was conducted in developing and characterising sugarcane bagasse pineapple leaf particulate re?nforced polyester res?n compos?tes. Unsaturated resin (UPR) reinforced with particulates varied proportions (0 – 25 wt. %) by mould casting. Morphology mechanical properties of the composites were examined. There a good dispersion resin. The composite demonstrat...

Abstract Polymeric materials are used in different industrial applications because they retain good environmental properties, low-cost, and easy to produce compared conventional materials. This study investigated the effect of adding Kaolin particulate (KFP) Luffa cylindrica fiber (LCF) on mechanical properties polyester resin. was treated with 5% NaOH, varied weight fraction (5, 10, 15%wt), re...

In the present work, a numerical investigation based on modified peridynamic method of fracture properties epoxy resin reinforced by nanoparticles, more specifically hyperbranched polyester (HBP), was conducted. Due to specific features HBP, certain material nodes in model were constrained accurately replicate effect HBP pure resin, and Monte Carlo used simulate random distribution HBP. The val...

Two original art installations constructed from unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) and four different reference UPR products (before and after UVB aging) were analyzed by high-resolution 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Breaking strain studies were also conducted for the four UPR model products before and after different aging procedures (moisture, UVB exposure, melt/fre...

Polyester has been used as a prosthetic socket base. It is well documented that the raw material of base should have exhibited good mechanical properties. Prosthetic device connects an artificial limb with amputee part. In this work, seven laminated composites were prepared using vacuum technique from polyester resin and reinforced Jute, Carbon, Glass, Perlon fibers. The objective study to manu...
