In this study, the unsaturated polyester (UP) composite resin was used for binding the reinforcement such as glass fibers (GF) and polyvinylchloride (PVC) powder. Electrical resistivity of polymer composite has been investigated at different ratios of glass fiber and different temperatures. Results show that the electrical resistivity decreases with increasing temperatures and increases with increasing the concentration of GF% in the composite until reaching GF ratio of 20% then starts to decrease.

Keywords: Unsaturated polyester, glass Fiber, PVC powder, electrical resistivity.
