Different Levels

Blends of nonbiodegradable and biodegradable polymers can promote a reduction in the volume of plastic waste when they undergo partial degradation. In this study, properties of raphia palm interspersed fibre (RPIF) filled high density polyethylene (HDPE) have been investigated at different levels of filler loadings, 0 to 60 wt.%. Maleic anhydride-graft polyethylene was used as a compatibilizer. Raphia palm interspersed fibre was prepared by grinding and sieved to a particle size of 150 µm. HDPE blends were prepared in a corotating twin screw extruder. Results showed that the tensile strength and elongation at break of the blends decreased with increase in RPI loadings and addition of MA-g-PE was found to improve these properties. However, the Young’s modulus increased with increase in the amount of RPI into HDPE and compatibilization further increased the Young’s modulus. The water absorption indices and weight loss for RPI/HDPE composites were found to increase with RPI loadings but were decreased on addition of MA-g-PE.

The present study explains the preparation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-based nanocomposites containing different amounts of montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay (1–10 wt%). These nanocomposites were obtained by melt blending in a co-rotating twin screw extruder in absence and presence of a compatibiliser (HDPE-g-MA). The melt rheological behaviour of HDPE/MMT nanocomposites has been investigated by using capillary rheometer at 190°C, 200°C and 210°C over the shear rate range of 50–1000 s−1. The melt viscosity of HDPE increased marginally at 10 wt% filler loading while addition of compatibiliser to HDPE/MMT composites did not show any significant effect on viscosity. All nanocomposites showed shear thinning and non-Newtonian flow behaviour. The power law index reduced with increase in MMT concentration and increased with increase in temperature while opposite trend was observed for the consistency index. The activation energy was highest for the nanocomposites containing 10 wt% MMT and decreased upon addition of coupling agent.
