Sliding Wear Behaviour of Walnut Shell Powder Filled Vinyl Ester/ WSP Green Composites

Polyvinyl ester green composites were synthesized with walnut shell powder (WSP) by in-situ polymerization technique. The green composites have been evaluated for mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and hardness. Sliding wear loss, specific wear rate and coefficient of friction were investigated by using computerized pin-on–disc machine at normal applied loads of 20,...

Surface Degradation of Polymer Matrix Composites Under Different Low Thermal Cycling Conditions

The principal effects of mass degradation on polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are the decay of mechanical properties such as strength, elongation, and resilience. This degradation is a common problem of the PMCs under thermal cycling conditions. In this article, composite degradation was investigated by measurement of total mass loss (TML) using the Taguchi approach. Thermal cycling tests were ...

Polyester and Vinyl Ester Coatings

olyester and vinyl ester resinbased linings are known for their solvent and chemical resistance. The different resins in these linings have broad resistance ranges, with acid resistance being a major strength. Some of the specific resins resist 1 or more chemicals or types of chemicals better than other resins, so systems often are finetuned by the choice of resin for a particular chemical envi...
