Abstract

The research includes the study of some physical. Properties (thermal conductive and dielectric strength) for two types of polymer composites; epoxy resin (EP) reinforced by chopped carbon fibers (CCF) and unsaturated polyester resin (UPE) reinforced by chopped carbon fibers at different weight percentage (1%, 3%, 5%, 7%). Hand –lay up. Method was used to prepare sheets of composites (EP, UPE, EP/CCF, and UPE/CCF) on. glass mold which were cut according to the standard dimensions of the thermal conductive and dielectric strength tests specimens. The results showed that the. Sample of UPE/CCF have highest values of thermal conductive at weight. percentage (7%) compared with prepared samples at other weight percentage. Also the results showed that the thermal conductive of. Pure UPE and EP increased with increase in weight percentage of carbon fibers addition. On the other hand, the results showed that the polyester composites have higher values of thermal conductive compared with epoxy composites. Also the results showed that higher value of dielectric strength at weight. Percentage (1%) for both types from prepared composites of carbon fibers.In addition, the results showed that the polyester composites have higher values of dielectric strength compared with epoxy composites.
