Investigation on thermal properties of Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) matrix with Polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) particle reinforced composites

Temperature utilization of composites materials depends on its thermal conductivity and co-efficient of thermal expansion. Polymers are exceptionally combustible because of their structure and they can't fulfill a few applications. Thermal treatment of soften polymer because of the preparing setup by injection molding fabrication process able to control polymer structure (fitting) and in this manner deciding its thermal conduct. The fundamental point of this work is to contemplate the impact of Polytetrafluroethylene polymer (PTFE) as particle with Styrene Acrylonitrile polymer (SAN) as matrix to examine its thermal properties. Samples of 100% SAN and 10% PTFE by weight, 20% PTFE by weight blended specimens with SAN are prepared successfully by Injection molding process. Heat capacity, Thermal expansion, Thermal conductivity and Thermal degradation are the thermal properties examined. From the observations it was found that PTFE particles blended samples exhibits maximum thermal conductivity and good dimensional stability.
