Abstract
Phenol formaldehyde was filled with Envirospheres slg to increase the strength of the composite for structural applications by a research Centre on composites, University of Southern Queensland (USQ). In order to reduce costs, the Centre wishes to fill as much slg as possible subject to maintaining sufficient strength of the composites in structural applications. This project varies the percentage by weight of the slg in the composites which are then subjected to flexural tests. The results show that composite with 25 % by weight of the slg produces the highest flexural strength and Young’s modulus combined with a reasonable fluidity for casting; the highest flexural strain was achieved when the percentage by weight of slg is 10 %.
