Research on Application of Fractal Theory for SiO2/UPR Granular Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an introduction to the approach to calculation of fractal dimension of SiO2/UPR granular composites. The porosity of quartz mixture, the density, the optimum amount of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) and the mechanical properties of the SiO2/UPR granular composites were tested. The relationship between the four factors and the fractal dimension was analyzed and the relation expressions were obtained by fitting. For the SiO2/UPR granular composites, fractal theory is not only used for the design of gradation and the optimum amount of UPR, but also for calculating and evaluating the mechanical properties. Research shows that the fractal dimension plays a role of linking the microstructure and the macroscopic properties of the SiO2/UPR granular composites.
