As a result of the development of the use of reinforced Composites with fibers in
practical applications continuously, research aims to study the effect of proportion piroxide
additives to unsaturated polyester resin on the tensile properties of th
e samples prepared
from unsaturated polyester resin reinforced with glass fiber used in wind turbine blades
manufacturing, and also studying the effect of for the application of heat treatment
operations on the hardening of the unsaturated polyester and tensile properties after heat
treatment process the application in order to improve the properties of these blades.
Test samples were prepared containing ratios (1% - 1.5% - 2%) of methyl Etel
ketone piroxide MEKP and test results showed that the best ratio at 1.5%. While the heat
treatment results showed that the best values for tensile strength at break of the samples are
treated to a time of / 48 hours /.
This paper is targeting towards studying on the possibility to modify some properties
of unsaturated Polyester compounds by adding rubber materials in order to improve its
flexibility property. For this target, Waste of cars' tires was used in two
forms powder and
pieces, and the liquid rubber Styrene-butadiene was used as another type of rubber. After
that the modification was detected by measuring the possibility of the resulted compound
materials to absorb vibration power, and reduce the noise that is produced by eccentric
crankshaft circulation at different rotating speeds, (300, 500, 700) rpm.
Test results demonstrate that there will be Modification in the construction of the
compounds at low rotating speeds (300 rpm). On the other hand, it demonstrates different
results at high rotating speeds.
