The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanical and thermal properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites reinforced by bamboo pulp fibers (BPF). Using a twin-screw extruder, polymer composites were fabricated using BPF and bamboo flour (BF) as the reinforcement and HDPE as the matrix. Tensile and flexural tests of the HDPE composites were performed to determine the mech...

The nanocavitation distribution in deformed High Density PolyEthylene (HDPE) was investigated. A flat notched sample of HDPE, under steady crosshead speed up to the end stress softening, observed by classical synchrotron parallel beam microtomography and magnified holotomography with a true spatial resolution 0.7 μm 0.05 μm, respectively. Image processing, 3D image segmentation 2D-Fast Fourier ...

The demand for new, thermally conducting light weight and anti-corrosive materials is tried by incorporating Copper Oxide (CuO) nano powder in polyethylene matrix material. A laboratory level electro deposition technique is adopted here to prepare Copper Oxide (CuO) nano particles. Their phase composition is confirmed with X-Ray diffraction peaks and verified with standard JCPDS file for Copper...
