Mechanical Property, Wear Characteristics, Machining and Moisture Absorption Studies on Vinyl Ester Composites – a Review
Source abstract
Abstract
In the world of composites the mostly used matrix materials was polyester resin and for few application epoxy resins were also used as the matrix element for building up the composite material. In recent days by replacing these polyester and epoxy resins vinyl ester resin show parametric advantages in terms of thermal, physical and mechanical properties of the resultant composites. In this work a brief study on the composites materials with vinyl ester as matrix phase has done to show the advantageous of using vinyl ester resin and the review paper also suggests the usage of vinyl ester resin as effective replacement for polyester and epoxy resin i.e. in which application can the vinyl ester resin used as matrix element for making composite material.
