To modify the properties of polymer either by using fillers
or by preparation of polymer blends gives
rise to new materials with tailored properties. In the
present study, Poly (Methyl Methacrylate)
(PMMA)-Fly ash cenospheres composites were prepared
using extrusion followed by Injection
molding. The effect of matrix modification with Methyl
methacrylate– acrylonitrile -butadiene–styrene
(MABS) on the performance of PMMA- Fly ash cenospheres
compositions was also, studied. It was
found that with the addition of Fly ash cenospheres
particulate as filler in PMMA showed marginal
reduction in Tensile Strength, % Elongation and Impact
strength and improvement in Flexural
Strength, Heat Deflection Temperature and Vicat
Softening Point. Compared with PMMAcenospheres
composites, the notched Impact
Strength of the PMMA/MABS/cenospheres composites
showed marginal enhancement in values at higher loading
of cenospheres. The optimum
performances in mechanical and thermal properties were
obtained when the ratio of MABS to
cenospheres was 1:2.
