Abstract
Phenol formaldehyde was filled with Envirospheres slg to increase the strength and fracture toughness of the composite for structural applications by the Centre of Excellence in Engineered Fiber Composites (CEEFC), University of Southern Queensland (USQ). In order to reduce costs, the Centre wishes to fill as much slg as possible subject to maintaining sufficient impact toughness of the composites in structural applications. This project varies the percentage by weight of the slg in the composites which are then subjected to fracture toughness tests. The results show that composite with 20 % by weight of the slg produces the highest impact values combined with a reasonable fluidity for casting.
