Effect of hygrothermal ageing on mechanical properties, swelling behavior and morphology of wood powder filled LDPE with different filler loading and addition of coupling agent was investigated and compared with each other. ...

Composites of baggase fiber and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) were investigated. The increases in filler loading have increased the value of tensile strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, flexural strength ...

Composites of thermoplastic blend of polypropylene (PP) filled with oil palm flour (OPF) was prepared by Z-Blade Mixer at 180 ºC and rotor speed 50 rpm. In general, increased of oil palm flour loading have increasing Young’s ...

In this study, attempt has been made to combine the advantages of fiber and polymer. Composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) and pulp fiber was made through melt blending and compression molding. HDPE/pulp ...

The effect of fibre reinforcement and resin content on moisture uptake in composite laminate was investigated. Three materials using identical epoxy resin systems but different reinforcements glass, kevlar and carbon ...

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) composite are prepared by incorporating clay at different loading into LDPE matrix using a Z-Blade Mixer at temperature 1800C and a rotor speed of 50 rpm for 12 minutes. A compatibilizer, ...

In this project, metal filled polymer composite had been produced by using powder metallurgy concept and cold pressing method. The processing method had influenced the properties of composite system and to establish the ...

The interest in long term sustainability of material resources has make advancements in bio-composites or else name as polymer composite materials which made from natural fibers and resins. Natural fibers reinforced with ...

The interest in using natural fibers in composites has increased in recent years due their lightweight, non-abrasive, combustible, non-toxic, low cost and biodegradable properties. However, lack of good interfacial adhesion, ...

The effect of filler loading and dynamic vulcanization of paper sludge (PS) filled LDPE/EPDM was investigated. Blends with different filler loading ranging from 0 to 60 wt % were prepared in Z-blade mixer at 180 °C and a ...
