STUDYING THE EFFECT OF ADDITION SOME CERAMIC MATERIALS ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF NOVOLAC RESIN

Abstract

In this study, novolac resin is used as a matrix in the composite which reinforced with some ceramic particles such as alumina, silica, and, limestone as paint. Novolac -alumina (N-A), novolac- silica (N-S), and novolac-limestone (N-L) composites contain (10-30) wt% reinforcing materials .The composites exhibit the mechanical properties like adhesion, impact and hardness better than the mechanical properties of novolac resin.
