Cu nanoparticles (CuNPs) were modified by organic surfactant, then CuNP-modified high-density polyethylene (CuNP/HDPE) monofilaments were prepared by melt spinning. The effect of CuNP content on the morphology and properties of nanocomposite monofilaments was investigated. FT-IR and dynamic light scattering proved the successful surface modification for CuNP. Scanning electron microscope was used to observe the dispersed behavior of the CuNP. When the CuNP content was less than 1.0 wt%, the CuNPs were well dispersed in these nanocomposite monofilaments, and the increase of crystallization rate, the breaking strength, and knot strength were observed by differential scanning calorimeter and tensile test. Therefore, nanocomposite monofilaments showed comparable properties at low CuNP contents. With increasing CuNP content, the width of tanδ peak and △Ea for α-relaxation from dynamic mechanical analysis were increased, indicating more amorphous components near the crystalline regions. In addition, burst release of Cu ions in seawater was observed. The coupon tests demonstrated that CuNPs could significantly improve antibiofouling performance of CuNP/HDPE fishing netting. CuNP/HDPE fishing netting have a strong potential for using in marine antifouling mitigation.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE)–clay nanocomposites have been prepared using the melt intercalation technique. Organically modified montmorillonite at various loadings (0.5–7%) was used as a nanoadditive. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was utilized for the first time to monitor the stress-induced crystal-to-crystal transformations of the polyethylene matrix with respect to the clay loading as well as to the degree of mechanical strain. In addition, polarized infrared measurements revealed information on both the orientation and the stress-induced distortion of the crystals. It was concluded that the crystal-to-crystal transformations are hindered by the presence of the clay, which also prevented the crystals from orienting even at low clay loadings (1%). Finally, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements confirmed the presence of the stress-induced crystalline structures in agreement with the infrared measurements.

A new Modifier with Silicon radicals as anchoring group and poly(butyl acrylate) as solvatable chain was synthesized and its effect on the properties of HDPE/Anhydrite composites was investigated in this paper. Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results show that the modifier react on the Anhydrite powder particles surface and the modified Anhydrite powder particles particles. compared with that of HDPE/Anhydrite (filled with same non-modified fraction), The impact strength, tensile strength, bending strength and Young’s modulus of modified HDPE/Anhydrite composites increased about 36.6%, 7.5%, 15.6% and 34% respectively. Based on surface analysis by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the Anhydrite powder particles buried well in HDPE matrix when Anhydrite powder particles was coated with the YB modifier. It was found that Anhydrite powder particles significantly increased the crystallization temperature and crystallization rate of HDPE by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). At same time, through the X-ray diffraction (XRD) found the addition of the YB modifier modified Anhydrite powder particles can not change the formation of crystal HDPE, but can reduce the crystallite size.

In the present work, Polypropylene (PP) was blended with poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) to form (PP/PMMA) polymer blends. High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) was mixed into these blends at different weight fractions (2,4,6,8) % wt to form (PP/PMMA/HDPE) blends were prepared using an one screw extruder. results obtained from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed that there was a reduction in surface roughness any decrease in clusters, drilling and bends, as for Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry showed no change in the wave numbers of the functional groups. The optical properties of samples are investigated by measuring optical absorption spectra in the wavelength range from 260 to 1100 nm. this results show that Eg of the blends increases with increasing high density polyethylene contents, the indirect optical band gaps for (PP/PMMA) and (PP/PMMA/HDPE) blends were estimated to be about 2.83,2.9,2.95,3and 3.1 eV for indirect allowed transitions, whereas the indirect forbidden band gaps were determined as 2,2.1,2.15,2.2 and 2.3 eV with increase high density Polyethylene contents, respectively. The absorbance, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient and the imaginary dielectric constant of (PP/PMMA/HDPE) decreases with increasing of HDPE percentages except the transmittance, refraction index and real part of the dielectric constant increase with increasing of high density polyethylene.

In this study, the performance of sandalwood (SW), as an efficient potential filler material for high-density polyethylene (HDPE), was investigated in detail. Firstly, the characterization of SW was conducted by the determination of chemical composition with chemical and thermal analysis methods. The distribution of SW particles, which were used in composite fabrication, was obtained by using a dynamic light scattering analyzer. Then, the composites of SW, whose weight fractions varied from 5% to 20%, with HDPE were produced in a high-speed thermokinetic mixer. The detailed characterization of composites was made by using thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Fourier transform infrared, thermal conductivity measurements, and tensile and three-point bending tests. From DMA, storage modulus and loss modulus values of the HDPE matrix increased with increasing the weight fraction of SW. It is clearly seen that SW incorporation into HDPE at weight fractions of 5% and 20% exhibited the best improvement in terms of tensile and flexural strengths, respectively. It can be noted that the reinforcement effect of SW for HDPE is more prominent at high temperatures.

Aiming to systematically convert post-consumer plastics in building materials, we compounded recycled high-density polyethylene and sugarcane bagasse. We ranged the polymer/filler ratio from 100/0 to 60/40, and assessed the properties using optical microscopy, water absorption test, adhesion by tape test, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, dynamic-mechanical analysis, and wide-angle X-ray diffractometry. The optical microscopy of the triturated bagasse showed the reduced and heterogeneous fiber sizes. The absorption and adhesion test showed that the polymer more heavily filled with bagasse can better absorb and anchor paint with organic solvent base. The dynamic-mechanical analysis and wide-angle X-ray diffractometry led us to believe that the bagasse fibers somehow structured the amorphous region amongst the crystallized lamellae of the polymeric matrix. We concluded that these composites have interesting properties to produce building materials.
