Salaman Journal Article 2011 03 01 The objective of this research is to study the effect of reinforcement by carbon fibers as woven roving (°90-°0) with density (1.75gcm3)on thermal conductivity for unsaturated polyester resin after reinforcing it by different percentage of fibers (20%, 40%,60%) and we used Fourier equation to calculate the thermal conductivity coefficient (k) . Also the mechanical properties of this resin was calculated with the same reinforcing percentage of fibers and these properties included : impact strength , tensile strength , compression strength , flexural strength , and hardness . The results show that improvement in thermal and mechanical properties after reinforced by fibers , and these properties will rise as increased in reinforcement percentage . https://qjes.qu.edu.iq/article_33414_706e79e774e8345ecccc7ed401793d9e.pdf
