| dc.description.abstract | In this study, the effect of recycled copper on the electrical, mechanical and
thermal stability properties of the polyester composites was investigated. Electrical
conductivity results revealed that increasing in conductivity with increasing in filler loading.
Percolation concentration was found at filler content of 20 vol. %. Increasing the amount of
filler content led to a decreased in flexural strength and a corresponding increased in flexural
modulus of elasticity. It was observed that the hardness of composites nonlinearly increased
with increasing amount of filler. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) study showed an
increment in thermal stability after the addition of recycled copper filler in polyester resin
composites. | en_US |
