Characterization and properties of recycled polypropylene (rPP)/ recycled high density polythylene (rHDPE) blends and its composites
The thermoplastic blends of recycled polypropylene (rPP) and recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) was studied. The rPP/rHDPE blends were prepared by using twin screw extruder at temperature 190⁰C and rotor speed of ... -
The effect of filler content and chemical modification on properties of polylactic acid/recycled low density polyethylene/nypa fruticans husk biocomposites
Nypa fruticans husk (NFH) filled polylactic acid (PLA)/recycled low density polyethylene (rLDPE) biocomposites had been prepared using Brabender Plasticoder EC PLUS at temperature 180˚C and rotor speed 50 rpm. The effect ... -
Effect of kapok husk content and chemical treatment on properties of linear low density polyethylene eco-composites
The utilization of kapok husk (KH) as filler in linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was studied. The effect of KH content and chemical treatments on tensile properties, morphology, thermal properties and water absorption ... -

(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Materials Engineering, 2015)The recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE)/wood fiber (WF) composites had been prepared using Brabender Plasticorder at temperature 160˚C with rotor speed of 50 rpm. The effect of wood fiber loading and coupling ... -
Preparation and characterization of hybrid filler reinforced UHMWPE composites for artificial joint replacement
This is a study of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reinforced with zinc oxide (ZnO) under various filler loadings (3, 7, 12, 18 and 25 wt.%) and hybridized with incorporation of chitosan (CS). Further ... -
Preparation and characterization of linear low denstity polyethylene LLDPE/Thermoplastic Starch (TPS)/Banana fiber composites
The blending of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) with thermoplastic starch (TPS) and filled with banana fiber (BF) were investigated. Two types of systems were prepared; the LLDPE/TPS matrix with different blend ... -
Synthesis, characterization and properties of low density polyethylene filled with reduced graphite oxide
Graphite based materials have become promising candidates in polyolefin nanocomposites in widening the application such as a packaging material. However, the utilization of these combination exhibits a doubt on how was ...
