Effect of filler loading on tensile properties, swelling behavior, and XRD characteristic of R-HDPE/tyre dust (TD) composites and R-HDPE/chicken feather fibers (CFF) composites were studied. The both composites were prepared with Brabender Plasticorder at 160°C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. The R-HDPE/TD composites gave a greater value of tensile strength, and swelling behavior resistance compared to R-HDPE/CFF composites. X-ray diffraction analysis shows the R-HDPE/TD composites have lower value of interparticle spacing (d) than R-HDPE/CFF composites. This indicated better interaction between tyre dust and R-HDPE matrix. Keywords: Chicken feather fiber, recycled high density polyethylene, tyre dust

The effect of caprolactam as a coupling agent on the tensile properties, swelling behavior and morphology analysis of recycled high density polyethylene/ natural rubber/ chicken feather fiber (R-HDPE/ NR/ CFF) composites was studied. The R-HDPE/NR/CFF composites with and without caprolactam were prepared using Brabender Plasticorder at 160°C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. The results indicated that R-HDPE/NR/CFF with caprolactam showed higher value of tensile strength but lower elongation at break and mass swell percentage than R-HDPE/NR/CFF composites. SEM morphology showed that the addition of caprolactam improved the fiber matrix-interfacial adhesion and good dispersion of the fiber in the R-HDPE/NR blends.

The effect of phthalic anhydride (PAH) as a coupling agent on the tensile properties, swelling behavior, and x-ray diffraction of recycled high density polyethylene/wood fiber (rHDPE/WF) composites were studied. rHDPE/WF and rHDPE/WFPAH composites were prepared using Brabender plasticorder at temperature of 160°C with rotor speed of 50 rpm. The results indicate that rHDPE/WFPAH composites showed higher tensile strength and percentages of equilibrium water absorption, but lower interparticle spacing (d) compared to rHDPE/WF composites.

The effects of benzyl urea into RHDPE/NR/CFF composites with different fibers loading were studied. The composites were prepared using BrabenderPlasticorder at 160 °C with rotor speed of 50rpm. The composites were characterized in respect of their tensile properties and morphology. The results indicated that RHDPE/NR/CFF with benzyl urea composites show higher values of tensile strength, Youngs modulus, but lower elongation at break than RHDPE/NR/CFF composites. RHDPE/NR/CFF with benzyl urea composites gave a better interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the fiber than RHDPE/NR/CFF composites as evidence using SEM.

Natural Fillers

Natural fillers fulfill most requirements needed to replace synthethic fillers in thermoplastic composites. However, some disadvantages appear when natural fillers are used for composites. The poor compatibility between the hydrophilic fillers with the hydrophobic polymer matrix leads to a weak interface and hence, thus poor mechanical properties. In this research, caprolactam-maleic anhydride (CL-MAH) was used as the compatibilizer (6wt%) and the effect of compatibilizer on the composites was studied on mechanical properties and swelling behavior of RHDPE/EVA/Taro. The tensile strength for RHDPE/EVA/Taro composites decreased while increasing the filler loadings but adding caprolactam-maleic anhydride in the composite significantly improved the tensile properties. The swelling behavior results indicated that increased in Taro filler and addition of CL-MAH will increase the mass swell of the composites.
