Effect of Wood Fiber Treated with Salicylic Acid/Ethanol on Tensile Properties and Thermal Stability of Recycled High Density Polyethylene/Wood Fiber Composites

Abstract:

The effect of salicylic acid/ethanol as a coupling agent on the tensile properties and thermal stability of recycled high density polyethylene/wood fiber (rHDPE/WF) composites were studied. Both composites rHDPE/WF and rHDPE/WF_M (treatment with salicylic acid) were prepared using Brabender Plasticorder at temperature of 160°C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. The result indicated that rHDPE/WF_M composites with salicylic acid exhibit higher tensile strength and modulus of elasticity and lower elongation at break than rHDPE/WF composites. It was also found that the addition of salicylic acid/ethanol shows better thermal stability in rHDPE/WF_M composites than rHDPE/WF composites.
