ABSTRACT
In this paper we study the effect of NanoSiC particles on the mechanical properties for the polymer composite material. We using the epoxy resin (EPOBOND Epoxy) supplied from epobond for chemicals and electrical components in Egypt as matrix reinforced with silicon carbide nanoparticles with different weight percentage (5, 10, 15 and 20). The tensile tests were made by using LLOYD" Universal Tensile Testing Machine System at room temperature, the wear tests were made by Pin-on-Disc machine and A Charpy impact test machine was used for measuring the impact toughness during impact testing . It is found that the addition of NanoSiC particles on epoxy resin can improve the wear resistance however the strength decrease with further increase in weight percentage of reinforcement.
