Effect of Blends Ratio on Mechanical and Morphological Properties of LDPE/Thermoplastic Soya Spent Powder Blends

Abstract:

This study investigates the properties of blends made from low density polyethylene (LDPE) with various levels of thermoplastic soya spent powder (SSP). The thermoplastic TPSSP content was varied from 5 to 20wt % whereas epoxidised natural rubber with 50 mol % (ENR 50) act as compatibilizer to improve the interfacial adhesion between low density polyethylene and thermoplastic TPSSP. The effect of the addition of ENR 50 on the LDPE/thermoplastic TPSSP was measured by using tensile test and thermal behaviour. The tensile strength and elongation at break (E_b) decreased with increasing TPSSP content. However, the addition of ENR 50 resulted in the increment of tensile strength and E_b LDPE/TPSSP blends.
