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.
