The thermal properties of polymers are crucial for many uses, such as electronics and aircraft. Much research has gone into comprehending and enhancing these attributes in order to meet the demands of contemporary technologies. One approach that appears promising is the addition of micro-filled erbium oxide (Er2O3) particles to polymer matrices. This article describes a study that focuses on the individuality of compound polymeric constituents. This work includes the material description, test, and experimental results for the mechanical, microstructure, and physical properties of "Epoxy" and "polypropylene" composites containing micron-sized erbium oxide particles. A mathematical relationship approximating the efficient thermal conduction of polymer compounds through the homogeneous dispersion of fillers composed of micro-sized particles has been developed as a result of these results.Polymers loaded with erbium oxide have been correlated through numerical analysis and experiments. The experiment to find the glass transition temperature (Tg) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of "EPOXY" and "POLYPROPYLENE" compounds—which affect erbium concentration—is reported in this work.

Keywords
