Komposit sandwich adalah jenis komposit yang mempunyai kekuatan tinggi apabila digunakan sebagai struktur primer maupun sekunder. juga memiliki kelebihan dari sifat mekaniknya, tahan korosi, massa kecil dan proses pembuatannya sederhana. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki pengaruh variasi fraksi volume lapisan kulit serat aren dengan inti limbah gergaji kayu sengon laut terhadap bending...

A facile strategy for fabricating scalable stamps has been developed using cross-linked polyacrylamide gel (PAMG) that controllably and precisely shrinks and swells with water content. Aligned patterns of natural DNA molecules were prepared by evaporative self-assembly on a PMMA substrate, and were transferred to unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) to form a negative replica. The negative was use...

Unsaturated polyester and epoxy vinyl ester resins have broad utility in composite applications. Today’s commercially available premium thermal performance vinyl ester resins are derived from novolac epoxies and methacrylic acid. These products combine low viscosity with shelf stable, yet fast curing properties, and enable fabricators to manufacture composite parts with rapid throughput for dem...

Three kinds of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites, including modified polyurethane resin (LGD), epoxy resin (E44) and modified unsaturated polyester resin (D33) glass-fiber reinforced plastics, were subjected to a 5000 h multi-factor accelerated aging test according to the power industry standard. To examine aging resistance and thermal stability of transmission towers made by these thre...

Mixed polyester resins are fascinating materials in toner development because of the possibility to tune the toner properties by the simple mixing of different resin components. But the miscibility of two different components with quite different properties is still a challenge in both pulverized and chemical toners. For chemical toners, one alternative is to use organic media to dissolve both ...

The objective of work was focused to investigate microstructure of polyurethane foam and cyclic crushing strength of its sandwich structure which made of sisal / coir / bamboo / glass fabrics as reinforcement with polyester resin to form composites skin. The tested sandwich panels were constructed four type of FRP faceplates made of sisal / coir / bamboo / glass fiber reinforcements impregnated...

In this research work the effect of internal strain on electrical tree growth has been revealed in clear polyester. Strain was introduced in the specimen by the introduction of particles like aluminium oxide, polytetroflouroethylene (PTFE) and glass beads in a clear polyester resin C. Aluminium oxide particles of size 105μm, PTFE 675μm and glass beads of 1mm were tested. These materials were em...

Objectives: To explore the use of natural composites as environmentallyfriendly alternatives to plastic. investigate effects varying ratios peanut shells and Styrene Diluted Unsaturated Polyester resin (SDUPR) on mechanical properties assess biodegradability composites. Method: Composites were prepared using manual layup method. Utilized SDUPR as: 50:50, 55:45, 60:40, 65:35 cured with a curing ...
