Resumen:
This work studies the synthesis of styrene copolymers obtained from
the reaction between isophthalic unsaturated polyester resins and styrene with
the aim of improving the mechanical properties of sheet moulding compounds
(SMC), specifically their flexibility and impact resistance.The experimental work involves the experimental
design; the SMC synthesis with different concentrations of 4 additives
(methylmethacrylate; diethylenglycol, dioctilphthalate, and a commercial
flexible resin); and the mechanical characterization including measurements of load-deflection
curves; flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus (FM) and impact resistance
(IR).
