Decorative articles based on polymeric materials

Abstract

The aim of the research is to create decorative articles based on polymeric materials, study the effects of fillers and the type of moulds that it can cope with the exothermic reaction nature of resin to create a scientific background on the usage of the resins in daily life products. The polymeric materials that will be concentrated on are the unsaturated polyester resins and epoxy resins. The unsaturated polyester is of many types and chemical constituents, the used experimentally is a general-purpose type and the epoxy also have different types and the used is a commercially 3D floor coating type. The resulted articles that were achieved in the research from unsaturated polyester resins are two tables with different dimensions, vase, candle, decorative articles and bricks. As for Epoxy, two different dimensions 3D tiles with artificial flower immersed within it.
