Evaluation of Crystallinity in Talc/Poly-styrene Composites by using FTIR and XRD
Abstract: Over the decade, polymers have found their usage in almost all types of industries ranging from food and beverage packaging to automobile industries. Though the polymers are considered highly inert and chemically stable, their performance under mechanical loading is not at par with their metallic counterparts. Thus, polymer composites have started gaining popularity over the years, but their properties are poorly understood. In this study, the effect of talc addition …

Development and Evaluation of Physical and Mechanical Properties on Talc Filled Sisal/Polyester Composites
Abstract: In recent years, research focusing on the use of natural fiber-reinforced composites has been increased and has opened up further industrial possibilities due to advantages of low density, low cost, biodegradability, abundance and renewability proffered by natural fibers. In this research, randomly oriented sisal fiber and talc filler were used to reinforce polyester matrix to produce composites of 3 mm thickness. The composites were fabricated by hand laying technique. Composite …
