Lec. Dr. Mohammed Kashkoul Alwan, academic staff in Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology, published a scientific research in Clarivet Journal by Elsevier publisher entitled

)Effect of perlite particles on the durability of the separation of layers of epoxy composites reinforced with glass fiber(

The study examined the mechanical properties such as the tensile strength and the strength of the fracture of layers and focuses on the use of perlite particles as a slanted and reinforcing material for the matrix. The results of the tests showed an improvement in the mechanical properties of the layered material compared with the results obtained for the matrix material.
