Description
Summary:This research studied the mechanical properties of orange and pomegranate shells powders reinforced unsaturated polyester with different weight fractions %Wf. The composite specimens were prepared by hand lay-up technique and sectioned according to (ASTM) for tensile, impact, bending and compression tests to obtain modulus of elasticity, ultimate tensile strength, elongation percentage, compression strength, impact energy and fracture toughness of the composite specimens. The results showed that the composite specimens reinforced with pomegranate shells powder give high mechanical properties compared with composites specimens reinforced with orange shells powder
