Cellulosic Fibre-Incorporated ZrO2-Dispersed Unsaturated Polyester Composites: Thermal Stability, Swelling, and Degradation Behaviour
In this present investigation, the thermal and swelling behaviour of cellulosic fibre reinforced ZrO2-dispersed unsaturated polyester composites is evaluated. Cellulosic fibres (jute and sisal) with chemical treatment and ZrO2 particles are dispersed within an unsaturated polyester matrix with a filler loading of 5–45 wt.% by compression moulding technique. The electronic thermal insulation tester, differential scanning calorimeter, thermo-gravimetric analyser, and limiting oxygen index analyser are used for thermal analysis of the composites. Various solutions with different pH values are used for the investigation of the swelling tendency of the composites. A marked enhancement in thermal and swelling properties is noticed along with the inclusion of fillers within the unsaturated polyester matrix. The fabricated composites displayed optimum results for filler content with 35 wt.% followed by saturation in properties with the dispersion above the same.
