Mechanical properties of low-density polyethylene filled by graphite nanoplatelets

Properties of Injection Molded High Density Polyethylene Nanocomposites Filled with Exfoliated Graphene Nanoplatelets

Mechanical, Morphological, and Thermal Properties of Nutshell and Microcrystalline Cellulose Filled High- Density Polyethylene Composites

Effects of nutshell fiber loadings of 30 wt.% and MCC loadings up to 15 wt.% on some properties of high-density polyethylene composites (HDPE) were investigated. The composites were manufactured by a single screw extruder and injection molding. The experimental composite samples were tested for their mechanical performance including tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural...

Preliminary study of the physical and mechanical properties of soya stalk flour/high density polyethylene composite

The use of agriculture residues as filler in composites is increasing due to their strength, abundance and low cost. Soya stalks show promising renewable natural fiber. In polyethylene composites the physical and mechanical properties (flexural resistance, tensile, impacted absorbed energy, water uptake and thickness swelling) was examined at different composites. The results showed that, the m...

Metal Powder-filled Polyethylene Composites. v. Thermal Properties Metal Powder-filled Polyethylene Composites. v. Thermal Properties

Thermal properties—such as thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat—of metal (copper, zinc, iron, and bronze) powder-filled high-density polyethylene composites are investigated experimentally in the range of filler content 0–24% by volume. Experimental results show a region of low particle content, 0–16% by volume, where the particles are distributed homogeneously in the po...

Investigation on mechanical properties of composite made of sawdust and high density polyethylene

In this research, the effect of wood species and particle size on mechanicalproperties of wood plastic composites (WPC) made of fir (Abies alba) and beech(Fagus orientalis L.) sawdust and high density polyethylene (HDPE) wereinvestigated. Wood plastic composite (WPC) were made with 30% HDPE in abatch process at 185˚C, at two particle sizes of 40 mesh and 80 mesh. Maleicanhydride polypropylene (...
