In this study polymer composites were synthesised by the polymerization of alkyd resin of sesame oil with the comonomer methyl acrylate(MA) using the fillers wood flour and wheat flour. The newly prepared polymer composites were analysed for thermal and mechanical properties. Thermal properties such as decomposition temperature, temperature of maximum decomposition, melting point and glass transition temperature of the of the polymer composites were studied by Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), Derivative thermo gravimetry (DTG), Differential thermal analysis (DTA), and Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) analysis. Mechanical properties of the polymer composites were studied from the tensile strength. Such polymers exhibit significantly large thermal stability and find applications in various fields with better and more improved properties.
