In present paper a new composite materials of (polyester/ (GF, SiC, PVC, Cu)) was prepared and studied to be used in gear applications. Samples were prepared with range of short length fiber (0.02-0.08 mm) and the weight fraction of E-glass fiber varying from (0-25)% . The best sample according to the wear resistance criterion was selected and some additives were used to improve impact, tensile, hardness, and thermal conductivity . These additives are 5% SiC, 6% PVC and 4% Cu. Samples properties were evaluated by using standard mechanical and physical testing. The results show improvement in all mechanical and thermal properties. Although the tensile strength decreases with increasing volume fraction of fiber content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
