In the present study, lithium chloride (LiCl) was utilized as a modifier to reduce the melting point of polyamide 6 (PA6), and then 15 wt % microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was compounded with low melting point PA6/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) by hot pressing. Crystallization analysis revealed that as little as 3 wt % LiCl transformed the crystallographic forms of PA6 from semi-crystalline ...

Particulate 45S5 Bioglass with an average size of 46 microm was incorporated into a high density polyethylene (HDPE) for potential medical applications. Composites with Bioglass volumes of 10, 20, and 40% were produced by a manufacturing process consisting of blending, compounding, powdering, and compression molding. The Bioglass particles were well dispersed, and their homogeneous distribution...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence aging on properties high-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Nanocomposites were prepared at 0, 1, 3, and 5 wt%. long-term durability materials evaluated by thermo-oxidative test. Test bodies aged 110°C for up 10 weeks. nanocomposites characterized differential scanning calometry, thermograv...

This article aims to study recycled biochar (R-BCH) improvements on the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix properties. A series of composites was developed with a different loading varying from 0 10 wt.% R-BCH, using twin-screw extruder followed by compression molding. The results were showed that addition 3-10% R-BCH in pure HDPE led an increase tensile strength, modulus elasticity, and d...

The use of the biowaste chicken eggshell (ES) particles as an alternative filler for inorganic calcium carbonate (CC) in polymeric materials was investigated this study. ES and CC were chemically surface treated with stearic acid by dry wet methods. Composites filled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) prepared via melt mixing their thermal-mechanical- flow behavior characterized. FTIR results sho...


 The quest to discover more and enhance the qualities of agro-residue for use as natural reinforcement polymers continues attract attention researchers because environmental friendliness. Hyphaene thebaica also known doum palm is a fruit tree native Nile in Egypt found abundance many parts Africa. Doum contains probably hardest toughest nut. nuts (DPN) are most under-used hard-nut despite...
