Mechanical Properties of Natural Fibers Reinforced Polymer Composites: Palm/Low Density Polyethylene

Abstract:

In the work, mechanical properties of palm fibers/low density polyethylene (LDPE) composites were studied. These fibers were mixed with the polymeric matrix (LDPE) in a thermokinetic mixer, in which fibers were responsible for 5 to 20 wt% in the composition. After the mixture, composites were dried, ground in mill and placed in an injector camera according to ASTM D-638 and ASTM D-790 specifications. Specimens were tested in tensile, impact, flexural and Shore A hardness mode. Results showed the addition fibers in polymeric matrix presented increase mechanical properties when compared to pure polymer
