COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF POLY(LACTIC- ACID), STARCH, CHARCOAL ON PHYSICO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF VIRGIN AND WASTE LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITES.

A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of natural fillers on mechanical properties virgin and waste low density polyethylene. Samples disposable sachet bags were obtained blended with varying percentages polylactic acid, starch, charcoal maleic anhydride (M.A) in a 2 roll-mill mixer compression molded form composites using two-roll mix molding machine for compounding. cut according ASTM tensile strength, flexural hardness impact strength. From results obtained, incorporation reduced strength more than composites, similar observed compared control sample. However, improved increase fillers.
