Effect of Coupling Agent on the Mechanical Properties of High-Density Polyethylene-Filled Calabash Particles Composites

Musa A B^*, BabaAli J, Danladi A, Lawal A S, Mamza P A P

ABSTRACT In the interest of sustainable development and production of eco-friendly bio-composites, the use of natural fillers with synthetic resins in the production of composites has been the new trend in composite manufacture. In this study, calabash particles (CP) were used as filler in high density polyethylene (HDPE) to produce bio-composites....

Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of Chemically Modified Cow Hair Fibres Filled Recycled Low-Density Polyethylene Composites

Muktari, S^*, Ishiaku S. U., Lawal A S

Composites were prepared from recycled low-density polyethylene (RLDPE) and cow hair using melt mixing and compression moulding technique. The fibres were treated with 0.2M H2O2 for improved adhesion. Composites of untreated and treated cow hair fibres were prepared with 0 to 50 wt% fibre loading at intervals of 10 wt% and their mechanical properti...
