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 compatibilizer and coupling agent on properties and characterization of ethylene vinyl acetate / natural rubber / potash feldspar composites
The composites of ethylene vinyl acetate/ natural rubber/ potash feldspar (EVA/NR/PF) were studied. The composites were prepared by using Brabender Plasticoder at 160°C with 50rpm of the rotor speed. The effect of PF ... -
Effect of polyaniline loading, types of surface modifiers and secondary doping process on the properties of poly (vinyl chloride) / poly (ethylene oxide) / polyaniline conductive films
The main objective of this research was to analyse the role of polyaniline (PAni) as conductive filler in the poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC) / poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) matrix. The PVC/PEO/PAni conductive composite films were ... -
Effects of cellulose, bentonite and hybrid cellulose/bentonite fillers on morphology, ambient and low temperature tensile properties of thermoplastic starch composites for refrigerated food packaging application
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is a biodegradable and renewable bio-based plastic which has great potential for the fabrication of edible and biodegradable film for refrigerated food packaging application. In this study, ... -
Effects of filler content and various coupling agents on properties of polypropylene/cocoa pod husk biocomposites
Chemical modification plays an important role in enhancing interfacial adhesion in thermoplastic biocomposites. In this study, the cocoa pod husk (CPH) filled polypropylene (PP) biocomposites were prepared using Brabender ... -
Measurement on strain rate sensitivity properties of rice husk/ linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) composites under various loading rates
The dynamic compression testing and static compression testing were performed using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus and a conventional Universal Testing Machine (UTM), respectively. These two techniques were ... -
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 ... -
Properties of chicken feather fiber/tyre dust hybrid composition filled recycled high density polyethylene composites
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Materials Engineering, 2014)The composites of chicken feather fiber (CFF)/recycled high density polyethylene (RHDPE), tyre dust (TD)/recycled high density polyethylene (R-HDPE), and hybrid fillers composite between chicken feather fiber (CFF)/tyre ...
