High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is used as the matrix and attapulgite (ATT) is used as the reinforcing phase. HDPE/ATT nanocomposites are prepared by melt blending. The effect of ATT content on the mechanical properties, water absorption and morphology of HDPE/ATT composites was studied. The results show that adding a small amount of ATT can improve the mechanical properties of HDPE, but excessive addition will reduce the mechanical properties of HDPE. The water absorption and contact angle test results show that as the ATT content increases, the composite material becomes more and more hydrophilic. After joining ATT, the performance of HDPE / ATT composite material has a significant improvement effect, and it is believed that it will have broad application prospects in the future.

The trend of using natural fibers as green filler in the fabrication of polymer composites is increasing. One of these natural fibers is date palm fiber (DPF). Date palm fiber is considered as agricultural waste in certain areas, such as Middle East countries. Therefore, the utilization of this fiber in the composites fabrication is an interesting topic of research. In the current study, composites were prepared by melt blending DPF with high density polyethylene (HDPE). Five different DPF loadings were studied (i.e. 0, 5, 10, 20, 30 wt%). The effect of the DPF loadings on the mechanical properties and water absorption behavior of the composites were investigated. The tensile test result showed that tensile strengths of all the composites samples were all higher than the neat HDPE with the maximum improvement was achieved at the DPF loading of 5 wt% (i.e. DFC-5), which was about 19.23 MPa (138% higher than the neat HDPE). Whereas, the flexural test result showed that the flexural strength of the composites slightly increased compared to that of the neat HDPE only until 5 wt% DPF loading (i.e. DFC-5). Afterward, the flexural strength of the DFC-10 was equal to that of the neat HDPE, and decreasing with further increase of DPF loadings. Additionally, the water absorption test result showed that the water absorption rate and uptake of water (at equilibrium) increased with the increase of DPF loading.

Composites with nano-SiO2 particles and high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix were produced by hot pressing with various particle contents and particle surface treatment using commercially available silane coupling agents: γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxy silane and γ- glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane. The influence of the particle treatment on the mechanical properties of composites was determined by compression and indentation tests. Additionally, numerical analysis was performed in order to calculate Young’s modulus and stress concentrations for various particle contents in order to provide reference data by simulating micro- and macro particle composites with perfect bonding to the matrix.

The TiO2nanoparticles were used as a reinforcement to prepare nanocomposites with high density polyethylene (HDPE) by melt blending process. The original TiO2(ORT) was modified by 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPMS) to improve the dispersion into HDPE matrix. The FT-IR spectroscopy and FESEM micrographs of modified TiO2(GRT) demonstrated that GPMS successfully grafted with TiO2nanoparticles. The tensile test of HDPE/ORT and HDPE/GRT nanocomposites with various contents of dispersive particles indicated that the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of HDPE/GRT nanocomposites are superior to the values of original HDPE and HDPE/ORT nanocomposites. At 1 wt.% of GRT, the mechanical properties of nanocomposites were optimal. In DSC and TGA analyses, with the presence of GRT in the nanocomposites, the thermal stability significantly increased in comparison with pure HDPE and HDPE/ORT nanocomposites. The better dispersion of GRT in polymer matrix as shown in FESEM images demonstrated the higher mechanical properties of HDPE/GRT nanocomposites to HDPE/ORT nanocomposites.

In this study, the silvergrass (SV) was used to reinforce HDPE composites. The effects of polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI) content, slivergrass fibers content on the mechanical, water absortion of wood plastic composites (WPCs) were investigated. It was found that the mechanical properties of the SV reinforced HDPE composites can be improved by PMDI treatment. The highest tensile strength and flexural strength of the composites can be reached with 50% SV contents at the SV: PMDI=6:1. It has been proved that the hydroxyl groups of SV fibers which can react with the-NCO by FTIR. It also can be concluded that the water absorption of PMDI treated WPCs was lower than untreated ones.

ABSTRACTThe topic of Urban Solid Waste (USW) has become increasingly controversial in our times due to the high volumes being produced and not disposed properly; one effective way to reduce the generation of USW is finding new ways to recycling. This study proposes a means of recycling Tetra Brik® (TBr) cartons and high density polyethylene recycled containers (HDPEr), by generating an agglomerate with optimal mechanical properties in comparison with other TBr-based agglomerates. For the analysis of this material’s mechanical properties, two types of evaluation tests are carried out; flexure and screw pull-out test. Results show significant mechanical advantages over other TBr-based laminates by the integration of an HDPEr matrix to the system, thereby improving mechanical properties.
