In this mortar particles at different wt% (0, 24, and 100) have been filled in epoxy resin and the effects of mortar particles on mechanical and thermal properties has been studied. Tests have been conducted on 100 kN servo-hydraulic universal testing machine under displacement mode of control and impact testing machine were used for mechanical testing and electrical conductivity have been studied by using Four Point Probe Conductivity Measuring system. Mechanical test results indicate that the mechanical property of the composite, compression strength with the variation in mortar particle first increases and then decreases. Nevertheless, the tensile strength and impact strength of the composite are decreased as the wt% of mortar particles increased. Electrical conductivity results indicate that it first get increases and then gets decrease as the wt% of mortar particles increased. On the basis of overall study the epoxy filling of 24 wt% of mortar particles is found to be better than other combinations.ennullMechanical and thermal characterization of ceramic thermoset compositeThesis
