Abstract

Particulate reinforced polymer composites have been designed to improve the (polymer) composite properties and with reduction of cost. In the present study, fly-ash is used as a filler material. Samples are made with different mixing times i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min. Ultrasonic and magnetic mixing are the two ways to mix the particulate as fillers. The resulting mechanical properties such as flexural strength, tensile strength and impact strength of the composites are evaluated. The SEM and other investigations are been studied.
