Effect of ATH particle size on properties of vinyl ester matrix composites
Abstract eng: Alumina trihydrate (ATH) fillers are commonly used flame retardant for polymer composites because of its high performance in fire and its low cost. It is available in different particle sizes. This study aims to investigate the size effect of ATH particles on the properties of vinylester matrix composites. Five particle sizes of ATH fillers were used: 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12ȝm. The ATH fraction was maintained constant at 20% weight. This investigation reports the effect of alumina hydrate particle size on mixture viscosity, shrinkage, exotherm peak, gel time and the composite flexural properties were studied and discussed in this work.
