Notes:
A series of polymeric composites were prepared with sand/polyester ratio 92:8%. The sand used was local one. The polymeric composites were tested for their compressive strength, exterior volume, porosity, water uptake, specific gravity, volume of open pores and bulk density. The mechanical properties of these polymeric composites were within the range required for building bricks. No significant differences were observed between the polymeric composites made of glass sand and those from untreated sand except in exterior volume and compressive strength. Medium untreated sand was found to give better results in the mechanical properties.
