Purpose: The aim of the work was to determine the effectiveness of the modification of the epoxy resin strength and elasticity by Wood’s alloy particles addition. Design/methodology/approach: Manufacture method of thermosetting polymer matrix composite materials reinforced with the Wood’s alloy particles was searched. First of all mixing conditions were differentiated to obtained good dispersion of reinforcement in polymeric matrix. Microscopic examination of samples cross-sections was performed in order to search the structure of prepared composite materials. The strength and elasticity of composites were investigated using compression test. Findings: The results of the compression tests and their analysis are presented. The paper also presents microscopic images of structure of prepared composites. Research limitations/implications: Presented research was limited to composites in the form of small samples. The developed technology of this type of composites preparation is limited to small volumes because of sedimentation process action. Practical implications: Materials with low melting point alloy content show many possible applications. First of all they are materials with higher thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity than standard polymeric materials. Conducted research programme showed that these materials exhibit also good mechanical properties. Originality/value: Preparation method of thermosetting polymer matrix composite materials reinforced with the Wood’s alloy particles fabricating method was developed. Composites with good mechanical properties were obtained. Microscopic examination of samples cross-sections in order to search the structure of prepared composite materials was performed. Composites with small particles evenly dispersed in epoxy matrix were achieved.
