Abstract: The aim of this research work is to prepare the titanium ceramic powder reinforced into the matrix of polypropylene and polyvinylchloride foam and analyze the mechanical behavior of these composites and their laminates combinations. The laminates combination has three layers. The center core is aluminum sheet and the others are either polypropylene or polyvinylchloride. The reinforcement of titanium ceramic powder with the thermoplastic polymer has more interest in this research work because it replaces the conventional reinforcement of synthetic fibers in the polymer matrix. The mechanical behavior of the composites and their laminates were analyzed by tensile, flexural and impact test. The physical morphology of the composites was studied using scanning electron microscope. The test result showed that the addition of titanium ceramic powder enhanced the above said properties in polypropylene matrix and the rigidity of the polyvinylchloride increased to reduce its impact strength. The detailed analysis is discussed in the result and discussion section.
