The research includes an experimental study for the
manufacture of a polymeric (saturated polyester) compound material manufactured
by the Turkish company (Poliya Composite Resins and Polymers, Inc.) and its
type (Polipol3455), which is a thermally hardened polymers fortified with
random sizes of glass powder and glass
fibers in different weight proportions, And then studying the mechanical properties
of the manufactured models, and these properties included compressive and
tensile resistance and hardness resistance, where the mechanical properties of
polyester resin were initially extracted before being reinforced with random
Pyrex glass powder of random shapes and with different weight proportions of
glass powder and glass fibers 10%, 20%, 30% and a study of the effect of this
on the properties, The results showed that the tensile strength, compressive
strength and stiffness resistance of glass-strengthened powder increased by
10%, and at this rate the composite material became strong. As for the decrease
in tensile and compressive strength by 20%, 30% is due to the insufficient
amount of polyester used in gluing glass powder, thus the bonding strength
between the base material and the reinforcing material decreases, which leads
to a decrease in the tensile and compressive strength, and the unsaturated
polyester hardness values increase With the addition of glass at a rate of
10%, but the increase is less solid, with the increase in the percentage of
weight, the mechanical properties improve with the increase in the percentage
of fibers on the contrary when the proportion of the glass powder increases. In
industry, glass fiber reinforced composites are used more than powder glass
reinforced compounds, due to their higher mechanical and physical properties.
