Abstract
Unsaturated polyester resin has been synthesized using phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, propylene glycol and adipic acid. Synthesized unsaturated polyester resin, stryrine and jute fiber along with benzoyl peroxide as catalyst were used for the composite preparation. Mechanical and thermal properties of composites were evaluated. The results indicate the good thermal stability of some compounds. The obtained composites were characterized by TGA & DSC. The DSC scans of resins are analyzed by the method proposed by Borchardt and Daniels
