Fabrication of self-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has been achieved through the in situ generation PET fibrils via a spun bond process. The reinforcement created from with higher Tm are made unique processing method. As result, well dispersed and distributed lower matrix. high degree molecular similarity affords perfect interfaces between matrix phase, leading to excellent stress ...

Abstract We analyzed the effect of elevated temperatures on integrity high-strength engineered cementitious composite (ECC) made with a hybrid combination polyethylene (PE) and steel fibers. The 50 mm cube specimens were subjected to temperature ranging from 200 800 °C at three different heating rates: 1, 5, 10 °C/min. Five types mixes varying content supplementary materials fibers evaluated. N...

Plastic disposal is now a significantproblem for the sustainability of environment. And, viewing engineering properties plastics (e.g., lightweight, flexible, strong, moisture-resistant, and cheap) opens possibility using themas structural material. Over decade, many researchers have studied as replacement natural aggregates in concrete or an additive.Besides, past experimental results shown th...

Abstract Graphene Oxide (GO) was added to Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) test the mechanical properties of compound. Compared other types polyethylene, LDPE provides a good balance and processability, which leads its being chosen as research’s matrix material. This experiment aims prepare LDPE/GO through melt mixing technique analyse tensile strength/tensile elongation composite based on GO co...

Agave fibers (AF) were incorporated either pristine (AFp) or surface treated by ethylene plasma (AFm) in low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) blends at a ratio of 1 : and foamed chemical means. The role the AF content (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 wt.%) its modification on cellular morphology mechanical properties LDPE/EVA/AF foams under compression is investigated herein. Fourier tr...

This work reports on the production and characterization of recycled high density polyethylene (R-HDPE) composites reinforced with maple fibers. The were produced by a simple dry-blending technique followed compression molding. Furthermore, fiber surface treatment was performed using coupling agent (maleated polyethylene, MAPE) in solution. FTIR, TGA/DTG, analyses to confirm any changes functio...

The question of increasing the reliability and durability reinforced concrete structures is a priority. One ways to increase strength using dispersed reinforcement. interest fiber-reinforced in Russia, as well Europe, Asia USA has increased significantly recent ten years. improvement physical mechanical properties noted depend on reinforcement parameters, such volume content fiber, characterist...
