Effect of functionalized metal oxides addition on the mechanical, thermal and swelling behaviour of polyester/jute composites

The unsaturated polyester composites were fabricated in hand lay-up method by reinforcing with jute fibre along with alumina or zirconia particles in different filler loading viz. 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt%. It was observed that with incorporation of fillers, the microhardness value of the resulting compo...
