Abstract

In this study, the current status of braille blocks for the visually impaired is reviewed through a survey of the literature, and an optimal material is selected through experiments and analysis of the unsaturated polyester resin and admixtures. The braille blocks are also developed through basic experiments, which determine the optimal combination of unsaturated polyester resin and admixtures.
