Abstract
English (OpenAlex)
Aim of study: The objectives this research was determined the effects of wood ash and microcrystalline cellulose ( MCC) filler on density and tensile, flexural and impact properties in the unsaturated polyester based composites. Area of study: To determine the some properties of polyester based composites manufactured using different filler. Material and Methods: In this study, polyester based composites were produced using wood ash and MCC as reinforcement agent. Polyester based composites were manufactured by casting method. During manufacturing process, cobalt and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) were used as accelerator and catalyser, respectively. Main results: Wood ash provided better tensile strength compare to the MCC ones. Best tensile strength and elongation at break values were achieved with the use of 5% wood ash. In contrast, best tensile modulus results were obtained when MCC was utilized. In the case of flexural properties, both flexural strength and flexural modulus were reduced with the reinforcing agent concentration increase regardless of reinforcements type. Research highlights: Density was increased with rising filler concentrations.
