Production of Sugar Beet Pulp/LDPE Composites Using Compression Molding Method and Investigation of Some Properties

Aim of study: In this study, the effect lignocellulosic filler and coupling agent amount on physical mechanical properties produced sugar beet pulp/LDPE composites were researched.
 Material methods: Wood-plastic using compression molding method. The (maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene) (density water uptake analyses) (tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break, flexural impact strength) investigated.
 Main results: According to obtained results, rise in SBP increased density, modulus while decreasing strength resulting composites. Generally, increase (MAPE) improved except for break.
 Highlights: Sugar pulp (SBP) can be successfully used as an alternative wood plastic composite production.
