Influence of CaCO₃ in glass fibre/unsaturated polyester composite on thermal and flexural creep behaviour

Influence of CaCO₃ in glass fibre/unsaturated polyester composite on thermal and flexural creep behaviour

The main objective of this experimental study is to investigate the influence of applying Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) on the flexural creep behavior of the coupon sample and to predict the service life of the composite samples. One of the test was short-term testing. Flexural test jig has been used al...
