Extraction and characterization of nano-silica particles to enhance mechanical properties of general-purpose unsaturated polyester resin

Unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) is the most versatile liquid polymer with a wide range of applications in every aspect of the industry but it has low impact strength, low elongation at break, and low toughness. Its mechanical properties can be enhanced with the addition of an optimum percentage of...
