Thermal conductivity of calcium carbonate filled with unsaturated polyester composites with different filler sizes

The effect of filler size to the thermal conductivity of the calcium carbonatefilled with unsaturated polyester composites has been experimentally investigated. The filler was derived from the shell of local clam known as Polymesoda bengalensis. Neat unsaturated polyester samples and calcium carbona...
