Abstract: The effect of adding pomegranate and orange peel particles to the epoxy resin has been studied during thermal conductivity tests under natural conditions and immersion in an acid solution (HCl) for a period of (14 days) with normality (0.3 N). in weight fraction ( 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1) and in thickness (4 mm). Thermal conductivity test results under natural conditions (N.C) showed that epoxy reinforced with pomegranate peel particles increased with increasing weight percent (wt %), but thermal conductivity values (K) for orange peel particles decreased with increasing weight percentage, While immersion in acidic solution (HCl) exceeds the (K) values after immersion more than the value in (N.C)..
