The present research, studies the effect of adding two different types of reinforcing powders, which included: Bamboo (Ba) and Rice Husk (RH), that added with different weight fractions (2, 4, 6 and 8 wt. %), and with the selected size particles of (25µm and 75µm) on thermal behavior of heat Cure Poly (Methyl Methacrylate) such as thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity in addition to the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis  and these tests were accomplished at temperature of laboratory. The poly Methyl Methacrylate properties which reinforced by (Bamboo and Rice Husk) powders are mainly influenced by the interfacial adhesion strength between the powders and the matrix, and in order to get better correlation between the natural powder and PMMA matrix, so the powders were treated with alkali (sodium hydroxide NaoH) solution prior to use as reinforcement materials. The results showed that the values of the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity increased with increasing of the weight fraction for both particle sizes (25 µm and 75 µm) of natural powders.

Silica particles were obtained from rice husk to which layered double hydroxide particles were deposited (weight ratio 1 : 1). Fe 2+ -Al 3+ layered double hydroxides (FeAl-LDH) were synthesized by co-precipitation with ratios Fe : Al of 3 : 1 in the presence of SiO 2 particles from the rice husk. Characterization of the synthesized FeAl-LDH@SiO 2 particles was performed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy with EDS. Prepared FeAl-LDH@SiO 2 particles were used as reinforcing agents in 1, 3 and 5 wt% quantity in poly (methyl) methacrylate matrix. The aim of this study was to examine whether FeAl-LDH@SiO 2 particles affect the mechanical properties of polymer composite materials. The morphology of the composites was examined using a field emission scanning electron microscope. Microindentation, tensile and impact testing determined the mechanical properties of the obtained composites.
