Effect of Composting on the Mechanical Properties of Bovine Fibres Filled Waste Low Density Polyethylene Composites

Muktari, S^*, Baba, M.A, Kabir, R.O, Godwin E.

Injection moulding technique was used to prepare composites of waste low density polyethylene (WLDPE) filled with bovine fibres from the hair of Zebu breed of cattle. Composite samples of filler loadings 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 wt% were prepared. The samples were buried under the ground to investigate the effect of composting on the mechanical pro...

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...
