Abstract |
|
Replacement of conventional materials by polymeric composites with improved mechanical performance is of immense importance for modern technology. The Tensile test (stress, strain and young’s modulus), Micro-hardness and Differintial Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) of composites were investigated. Fly-ash reinforced polystyrene composites have been prepared with solution casting method. Concentration of fly-ash was varied from 3% to 8 % by weight. Tensile properties were found to decrease with fly-ash addition, however, the Micro-hardness was found to increase with increasing fly-ash concentration .The DSC test gives good indication of improvement in thermal properties.. |
