Summary:Industrial by product dumped from iron making industry (slag) has been modified by various chemical agents, particularly, paraffin wax, liquid nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and silane coating agent. The modified slag powder samples were characterized by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the corresponding differential thermal gravimetric (DTG). As further evidence on the effectiveness of the modification process, the modified slag samples were subjected to attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR). The potential of the modified slag as reinforcement for unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites were studied. The mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of the fabricated composites were inspected as a function of modification type.
