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 compound (SMC), specifically its flexibility and impact resistance. The experimental work involves the experimental design; the SMC synthesis using different concentrations of 4 additives (methylmethacrylate; diethylenglycol, dioctylphthalate, and a commercial flexible resin); and the mechanical characterization including measurements of load-deflection curves; flexural strength, flexural modulus and impact resistance.
