Hardness and compressive properties of calcium carbonate derived from clam shell filled unsaturated polyester composites

The correlations between hardness and compressive strength for different size range of filler have been investigated through experiments. The filler was ground from the shell of local clam known as Polymesoda bengalensis and graded into eight different mean sizes. Hardness and compression tests were...

description The correlations between hardness and compressive strength for different size range of filler have been investigated through experiments.

Hardness and compression tests were done, and the compressive strength values correlated with the Vickers hardness number. The result showed that the hardness of the unsaturated polyester improved as the CaCO3 filler was infused into the matrix. Great enhancement of compressive modulus was achieved as filler size and filler content increased.
