Effect of Benzyl Urea on Properties of Recycled High Density Polyethylene/Ethylene Vinyl Acetate/Egg Shell Powder Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the study on the effects of benzyl urea (BU) on the mechanical, morphological, and water absorption properties of recycled high density polyethylene/ ethylene vinyl acetate/ eggshell (rHDPE/EVA/ESP) composites. The results indicated significant improvement in the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of the compatibilized composites due to better interfacial adhesion between the rHDPE and EVA. The water resistance properties were increased by the addition of the BU to the rHDPE/EVA/ESP composites. This study may suggest that BU can act as compatibilizer to enhance the interfacial interaction between the rHDPE and EVA matrix in the rHDPE/EVA/ESP composites.
