Abstract

Through the last two to three dictate, composite materials had being applied enormously in
many industry fields. This is as fact that this type of materials possess; high strength to
weight ratio, high stiffness, and limit thermal conductivity. In this work Nano-Yttrium oxide
with (0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%) weight fraction had been added, as reinforcement phase, to
acrylic resin (cold curing). Various physical and mechanical tests had done for determining
the development in the properties of the prepared composite samples like: hardness, tensile
strength, thermal conductivity, water absorption and density. The results show: decreasing
tensile strength with increasing Nano-Y2O3 weight fraction, maximum decline in tensile
strength was at (4) % Y2O3, about (16.2) % of Acrylic strength; increasing in hardness with
increasing Nano-Y2O3 weight fraction, maximum hardness was at (4) % Y2O3, about (107)
% of Acrylic hardness, no obviously density change with increasing Nano-Y2O3 weight
fraction, decreasing water adsorption with increasing Nano-Y2O3 weight fraction, maximum
decreasing in water absorption percentage was at (4) % of Y2O3, about (93) % of Acrylic
water absorption, decreasing thermal conductivity with increasing weight fractions of Nano-
Y2O3, maximum decline in thermal conductivity was at (4)% of Y2O3 , about (90)% of
Acrylic thermal conductivity
