Resistance of Polyethylene Geonets against Thermo-Oxidation

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studies the resistance of two high-density polyethylene geonets (manufactured with or without the additive Tinuvin 783) against thermo-oxidation. The materials were exposed to thermo-oxidation by two methods: oven-ageing tests at 100 °C and a new method developed by our research team. The damages suffered by the geonets were evaluated by tensile tests (determination of tensile strength, elongation at maximum load and toughness). Finally, the results obtained in the oven-ageing tests were compared with the results obtained by the new method.
