Synthesis of styrene polymer grafted nanocarbon particles for application as reinforcement additive for unsaturated polyester plastics

Key Points

• To investigate the enhancement of unsaturated polyester composites using polymer-grafted nanocarbon.
• Synthesis of styrene polymer-grafted nanocarbon using solution plasma technique.
• Incorporation of synthesized nanocarbon into unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites.
• Evaluation of mechanical properties to measure the improvement in strength.
• Composite materials demonstrated superior strength after incorporation of polymer-grafted nanocarbon.
• Enhanced mechanical properties indicate effective chemical reinforcement of UPE composites.
