Generate your Abstract and line of thought using the following keywords:
Composite material: polymer particulate filler (PMMA-Al); Preparation: hot isotactic pressing; Characterization: thermal, mechanical, physicochemical, Powder: preparation, blending. 

Discuss the following topics in correct language and organized flow of ideas within your introduction:
1. Definition of composite materials, their different types.
2. Advantages of composite materials over conventional material classes.
3. Particulate filler composites.
4. Common fillers.
5. Parameters affecting filler composites (blending and filler particle size).
6. Manufacturing processes for filler composites.

The introduction should be followed with "Material" section, containing the following properties:
-Chemical Name, Trade Name, Wt. % of U.S. Plastic Sales(*), Bulk List Price $/Ib (*), Type of Plastic, Density, Tensile Strength, Young's Modulus (E), Impact Strength: Izod, Elongation % , Hardness, Dielectric Strength, Max. Service Temperature (no load), Melting Point, Glass Transition Temperature
(Properties marked with (*) are not necessary).
-Repeated unit
-General properties of the polymer: advantages and limitations
-Typical applications
Use Kalpakjian, Farag, Smith, lab handouts or other references (MatWeb) to generate the above information

Include a full account for the experimental procedures, giving details for weights, temperatures and pressures.

1. Physical Testing: physical shape, color, density
2. Mechanical Testing: Impact and tension and compression tests
3. Flammability Test: burning, melting behavior, odor, smoke, flame color

Discuss the agreement or disagreement of the experimental results with the tabulated data for the used polymers, and those obtained in the experiment.

Required Data
Stres-Strain diagrams

Required Analysis
-Effect of the powder filler on the mechanical and physical properties of the polymer.
