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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
