1. EFFECT OF DATE SEED POWDER FILLER ON PROPERTIES OF HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE
ABSTRACT
High-density polyethylene composites of date seed powder were prepared at filler loadings of 0 to 40wt%. The particle sizes of the date seed powder investigated were 72, 125, 150 and 180µm. Calcium carbonate was used as a reference filler. The high- density polyethylene c...
2. EFFECT OF CHEMICAL TREATMENTS OF NATURAL FIBERS ON THE PHYSIO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF REINFORCED HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITES
Significance of the work
In this research, four natural fibers were used as the main reinforcements with high density polyethylene (HDPE) as the matrix. This research will solve the problems of using natural fibers as reinforcements by investigating the optimum conditions for treating t...
