Effect of Formulation on Thermal Expansion Behavior of Bamboo/HDPE/PA6 Composites Using TMA

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bamboo/HDPE/PA6 composites have been discussed by systematically studying the effect of formulation on thermal expansion properties. PA6 filled HDPE seemed not significantly influence LTEC of HDPE/PA composites system when the PA loading level increased form 0 % to 20%. It was investigated that BF significantly reduced LTEC value compared with LTEC of HDPE/PA. The reduction of the LTEC appear in HDPE/bamboo composites was dependent on the matrix and filler. Coupling agent can make the LTEC of HDPE/bamboo composites reduced, but the reduction was larger than that of only filler.
