Abstract
A particulate composite material was prepared by adding (CaCO 3 , CaO, MgCO 3 , MgO) ceramic particles with particle size of (< 53 μm) to unsaturated polyester resin with weight fraction of (3, 6, 9, 12, 15)% and fixed amount of CaF 2 (0.5% wt.). The results had revealed that the maximum values of tensile strength, compression, bending strength, hardness, impact energy and water absorption%, were (57.6828 N/mm 2 at 3% wt. CaCO 3 , 124.0965 N/mm 2 at 9% wt. CaCO 3 , 102.188 N/mm 2 at 9% wt. MgO, 88.2 Shore D at 9% wt. CaCO 3 , 0.27 J at 6%wt. CaCO 3 and 0.8432 % at 15%wt.CaO) compared with reference values, i.e.( 37.4742 N/mm2, 100.3563 N/mm 2 , 34.194 N/mm 2 , 83 Shore D, 0.36 J and 0.2626%) respectively.
