Abstract

Synthesis effect of mixing two types of nanoparticles in the same matrix polyester based sustainable composite was studied in this article. The nanoparticles blend includes sunflower seeds and calcium carbonate with amount 1–3 wt.%. Results showed that the samples containing sunflower seed nanoparticles have high impact strength compared to the samples with calcium carbonate, and increases with increasing reinforcement ratio compared with sample having calcium carbonate nanoparticles.  Keywords: Sustainable composite, synthesis effect, nanoparticles, natural/chemical blend
