Study of Sorption and Thermal Conductivity of Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPE) and Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Composite Reinforced by Glass Powder

Abstract

In this research we prepared composites material based on polymeric material which itblend of unsaturated polyester resin (UPE) and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and reinforcedby glass powder as a filler which added with different volume fraction (10,15,20)% Vf andcompare it with blend alone by lay-up method .We studied physical tests such as thermalconductivity and sorption test to find diffusion coefficient for all samples after immersion it insame time for specific time (7 weak) in different chemical solution such as (H2O ، HCL withconcentration 0.5 N ، C3H6O), the result show that the addition of glass powder to(UPE/NBR) blend lead to increase of thermal conductivity , and it was found the maximumvalue of diffusion coefficient in acetone solution and the minimum value of diffusioncoefficient in water
