- Abstract
In this paper some mechanical characteristics of a composite made from a hybrid resin and reinforced with corn cob powder are presented. The hybrid resin was made with a combination between the natural dammar resin combined with a small percentage of acrylic one. The synthetic resin was inserted in order to increase the polymerization process which was produced in about 24 h. In the fist part of the investigation, from the compression test, some mechanical characteristics are determined, such as: breaking strength or maximum force obtained at breaking. Then, by using the SEM analysis and EDS spectrometry, some samples with 50% dammar and 60% dammar were investigated. The last hybrid resin test was Shore D hardness and it was found out that the hardness decreases with the increase of dammar percentage. In the last part of the study, some composites by using the poposed hybrid resin reinforced with corn cob powder were manufactured. It has been found out that the proposed composite reinforced with corn cob powder has increased compression mechanical properties compared other composites that have the same reinforcement.
