Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out to investigate the thermal degradation of High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) short fibers reinforced epoxy composites. Three composites with 5, 10 and 15 % by weight of HDPE short fiber composition were prepared using epoxy as matrix material. The HDPE short fiber used as reinforcing material into the resin helps in retarding the thermal degradation of ...

The efficacy of untreated and alphacypermethrin-treated high density polyethylene (HDPE) mesh against Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) was determined using Onderstepoort downdraught black light traps and a contact bioassay. Three traps were operated overnight in four replicates of a 3×3 randomised Latin square design near horses under South African field conditions. Both the ...

Utilization of the recycled waste materials for new products is considered as a viable solution saving environment. This study paper targets performance evaluation hot-mix asphalt made with modified bitumen 60/70 containing 3 % and 5 high-density polyethylene (HDPE) (by weight optimum bitumen). First, properties mixtures including specific density, penetration depth, ductility, softening point ...

This work aims to describe the coffee silverskin effect as a lignocellulosic waste filler for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites development. The main task was determine various modification effects resulting from complex chemical composition of containing compounds with potential antioxidative properties, including caffeine, polyphenols, tannins, or melanoidins. processing, thermal, p...

The main aim of this paper is to present the research findings which come out from experimental determination influence input raw material properties and composition on water absorption hay-plastic composites (HPC). During HPCs production, important parameters such as hay sawdust particle size, hay/plastic concentration ratio or type plastic matrix can be recognized. In study, was produce an ac...

This study examined HDPE (high-density polyethylene) plastic waste as an added material for concrete mixtures. The selection of was based on its increased strength, hardness, and resistance to high temperatures compared with other plastics. It focused how can be used additive in increase tensile strength compressive strength. 156 specimens were identify the effect adding different percentages s...

Plastic waste disposal is a significant environmental concern due to its low degradability and management practices, especially in developing countries. recycling considered the most effective method, which minimizes impacts. This paper discusses use of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) plastic as aggregates concrete industry by incorporati...

Grinded glass fiber (GGF) embedded high density polyethylene (HDPE) membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation method. FESEM images showed that all the membranes had leafy structure, indicating a solid-liquid mechanism during phase separation. The results of EDX and TGA analyses confirmed that the fibers were dispersed in the HDPE matrix uniformly. Normalized water flux of t...

The objective of this study was to investigate the utilization waste tea wood fibers (WTWF) and effect maleic anhydride treated polyethylene (MAPE) in thermoplastic composites. For purpose, HDPE as matrix, WTWF lignocellulosic filler MAPE coupling agent were used. Six different composites produced by injection molding method; 0-15-30% ratio, with without MAPE. physical, mechanical, thermal morp...

The majority of waste plastics currently produced are either landfilled or incinerated. Plastics do not readily degrade and toxic elements can be leached from the landfill. Combustion of waste plastics can generate environmentally hazardous air pollutants such as dioxins/furans, as well as undesirable carbon dioxide. Consequently, cost effective ways of recycling the increasing amounts of gener...
