Tensile Properties, Swelling Behaviour and XRD Characteristic of R-HDPE/Tyre Dust and R-HDPE/Chicken Feather Fiber Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effect of filler loading on tensile properties, swelling behavior, and XRD characteristic of R-HDPE/tyre dust (TD) composites and R-HDPE/chicken feather fibers (CFF) composites were studied. The both composites were prepared with Brabender Plasticorder at 160°C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. The R-HDPE/TD composites gave a greater value of tensile strength, and swelling behavior resistance compared to R-HDPE/CFF composites. X-ray diffraction analysis shows the R-HDPE/TD composites have lower value of interparticle spacing (d) than R-HDPE/CFF composites. This indicated better interaction between tyre dust and R-HDPE matrix. Keywords: Chicken feather fiber, recycled high density polyethylene, tyre dust
