Studying Some Mechanical Properties of River Shell Particle Polymer Matrix Composite
Keyword(s):
This paper concerns developing the mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester. This work involves preparing a composite material and reinforcing it using river shell particles with volume fractures of (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%). The composite materials undergone mechanical tests with regard to hardness, tensile, and impact strength. The experimental results obtained show that the addition of river shell particles reduce the original tensile strength and impact strength up to 5% wt, while the hardness is increased with increasing addition of river shell particles percent.
