Abstract: In recent years composites reinforced with fly ash particulates have attracted considerable interest due to their inherent good mechanical properties and low cost. In this investigation an attempt has been made to provide an extensive literature review on the overall performance of these fly ash reinforced composites. Literatures in each category are reviewed according to the key factors mentioned. The literature review framework in this paper provides a clear overview of the usage of fly ash as a reinforcing agent in different matrices along with its distinctive performances.
Keywords: Fly ash, MMC, reinforcement, matrix, Mechanical properties.
