This study aims to investigate the HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) reinforced with fiberglass increase strength and toughness into a composite that has potential replace ABS (Acronitrile Butadiene Styrene). The composites were made variations in composition based on volume fraction. as matrix reinforcement through mixing method, molded heating machine (T=140°C), pressed pressing time of ±45 mi...

Blends based on recycled high density polyethylene (R-HDPE) and recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (R-PET) were made through reactive extrusion. The effects of maleated polyethylene (PE-g-MA), triblock copolymer of styrene and ethylene/butylene (SEBS), and 4,40-methylenedi(phenyl isocyanate) (MDI) on blend properties were studied. The 2% PE-g-MA improved the compatibility of R-HDPE and R-PET...

High-melting-temperature poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was successfully introduced into wood plastic composites through a two-step reactive extrusion technology. Wood flour was added into pre-prepared PET/high density polyethylene (HDPE) microfibrillar blends (MFBs) in the second extrusion at the temperature for processing HDPE. Addition of 25% in situ formed PET microfibers obviously incr...

This work aims to produce a 3D-printable bio-based filament composed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and chemically modified cellulose nanofibrils. Printing using HDPE as raw material is challenging due its massive shrinkage warping problems. paper presents new method overcome those difficulties by enhancing the mechanical properties achieving better print quality. was achieved nanofibrils ...

mechanical properties of wood/plastic composites manufactured by polyethylene and polypropylene blends (pp/hdpe) were studied. the sebs (styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene) and epdm (ethylene-propylene diene monomer) were used as compatibilizers to improve the compatibility and miscibility of the interface between hdpe and pp phases. the sawdust and polymers were compounded using an internal mix...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanical and thermal properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites reinforced by bamboo pulp fibers (BPF). Using a twin-screw extruder, polymer composites were fabricated using BPF and bamboo flour (BF) as the reinforcement and HDPE as the matrix. Tensile and flexural tests of the HDPE composites were performed to determine the mech...

Abstract Injection moulding is a high-quality process that preferred in modern manufacturing. Due to the defects HDPE polymer composites parameter’s had be adjusted based on necessity. Therefore, this study of parameters improve quality characteristics injection HDPE-PBI composite samples. As composition varies, aspects must controlled are shrinkage and warpage. The considered as factors Meltin...

in this study, the effect of nanoclay particles content on the physical properties and flammability of composite made of high density polyethylene and wood flour was investigated. for this aim, wood flour was combined with hdpe at 50% by weight, and nanoclay was used in 0, 2, 4 and 6%, also 2% of mape as the coupling agent was used in all formulations. the samples were made in injection molding...
