Abstract

The Novolac vinyl ester (NVER) resin and Furan resin (FR) (Poly-2,5- furyl methylene) were thoroughly mixed at various proportions by adding with suitable catalyst. Such a interacting blend in form of viscous syrup was employed on glass fibre and thus glass reinforced composites (GRC) were casted by ‘hand layup’ method. The so called GRC were formed due to interacting crosslinking between NVER, Styrene and FR as well as ‘insitu’ Diels-Alder reaction between NVER and FR. All the GRC laminate samples were studied for their physical and mechanical properties. ASTM standards were employed for such measurments. The resultant parameters show that produced GRC laminate samples have good mechanical properties.
