Abstract

Carbonized particles of saw dust using maleic anhydride as coupling agent have been incorporated into high density polyethylene and polypropylene in the range of 10 – 50 wt % and injection moulded into rectangular sheets. The mechanical properties of the sheets were determined. The results obtained showed that certain properties (mechanical, bending strength as well as bending modulus and flexural) increased significantly in the narrow particle loading of range 0 -10 wt %.

Carbonized high density polyethylene maleic anhydride polypropylene saw dust.
