Abstract

The influence of lignite flyash into the interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) matrix is thoroughly investigated in this study. The standard weight ratio of E-Glass fiber have been chosen as the reinforcement into the IPN (vinylester/polyurethane) matrix, along with the varying loading of flyash as 0 %, 1 %, 3 %, 5 %, 7 %, 9 % (wt. ratio) respectively, fabricated through the hand lay-up technique. In order to completely understand the physical properties of the flyash loaded IPN composite (E-glass fiber reinforcement) specimen’s tests like differential thermal analysis (DTA), Tensile, Flexural, Compression, Impact, HDT (Heat Deflection Test), and wear test is performed. It was interesting to note that, upon loading the flyash into the matrix, the test result confirms that, there was a precipitous increase in the physical strength of all the specimens’ up to the level of 5 % flyash loading except compressive and Barcoal hardness. Moreover to completely know about the bonding and de-bonding strength (flyash & matrix) of the fractured surfaces scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis has been carried out. Out of all, the 5 % flyash loaded specimens have showed unique characteristics in physical strength, wear resistance and enhanced thermal stability as compared with the remaining set of flyash loaded samples.
