Thermal degradation of the composite blend consisting unsaturated polyester resin, alumina trihydrate and silica aerogel was studied using thermal gravimetric analysis. Composite filled with silica aerogel show lower density and slightly improve the thermal stability of the pure polymer. The addition of alumina trihydrate slows down the degradation of the polymer due to the release of bond water while the combination of silica aerogel and alumina trihydrate in polyester matrix does not interrupt the function of alumina trihydrate due to inert properties of silica aerogel.

In the present study, unsaturated polyester resins based on castor oil was synthesized. Structure elucidation of the synthesized unsaturated polyester resin was done by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to evaluate the thermal stability of cured unsaturated polyester resin. Thermogram plot was further utilized to calculate various other parameters such as statistic heat-resistant index (Ts) and the integral procedural decomposition temperature (IPDT). Comparable properties with respect to commercial resins were reported for the synthesized polymers
