Abstract
In this study, a silica-based inorganic polymer was combined with metal particulate to make new heat resistant composites. The ability of this composite was tested before it can be use for structural material in high temperature. In making this composite, an inorganic-based composite is filled with aluminum particles and/or the other metal particles. As we know, aluminum ability is light, good condition of electric and heat conduction. The aluminum particles fill the pores that appear after evaporation of the water in the matrix. The thermal expansion coefficient of the composite specimen was measured from room temperature to 600°C.
