“…These studies highlight the mechanical and thermal properties, fracture studies, and use of compatibilizers, and coupling agents to improve interfacial bonding between the fiber and the polymer matrix. Also, the addition of GF onto the thermosets, such as epoxy resins [8] and other thermoplastics, such as polypropylene (PP) [9][10][11][12][13], polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) [14], polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [15], Polyamide 66 [16], poly(ether sulphone) [17], polybutylene terephthalate [18,19], Poly methyl methacrylate [20,21], and Polyurethane [22] have shown considerable enhancement in the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites significantly.…”

In this study, the effect of electron beam irradiation on the physico-mechanical, thermal, and dynamic properties of short glass fiber (GF)-reinforced waste polyethylene (WPE), virgin high density polyethylene (HDPE), and blends of WPE/HDPE in the ratio 50 : 50 was studied. For comparison, short GFs were irradiated with electron beam separately and the composites were prepared with WPE, HDPE, and blends of WPE with HDPE. Only a single proportion of the GF was used, that is, 50 wt% and dosage of the electron beam was 250 kGy. The results given in this article show that the tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and hardness increased when the composites were subjected to electron beam irradiation. The elongation at break does not undergo any change. The results obtained are also confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Dynamic mechanical properties are also measured for suggesting utilization of these composites for commercial applications.

Plastics used in the form of carry bags, pouches, sheets and various other shapes discarded into the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a major concern of environmental pollution these days. In India synthetic textiles from the garment industry and from the rubber industry also goes to the MSW stream. The objective of this paper is to combine the stiffness and strength of the short synthetic fi bers with the waste polyethylene matrix to form useful products. In this study glass fi bers have been chosen from the tyre industry and chopped to short fi bers before mixing with waste plastics. The composites of Short glass fi ber (GF) reinforced Waste Polyethylene (WPE) and neat High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) were prepared separately by melt-mixing technique in a Brabender plasticorder under optimum process conditions. Physico-mechanical properties of the composites at different fi ber loadings were determined using standard methods. Thermal stability of the composites was determined using a thermo gravimetric analyzer. It was observed that the strength properties improved with the fi ber loading up to 50 wt% of the short glass fi bers; beyond which it reduced due to dilution effect. The effect of Maleic anhydride (MAH) grafting onto the waste polyethylene improved the fi ber-matrix adhesion signifi cantly. The effect of Ethylene methacrylic acid (EMA) copolymer as a matrix modifi er improves the adhesion with the glass fi bers. The Waste Polyethylene composites were compared with those of neat HDPE glass fi ber reinforced composites, for its strength and thermal stability. Thermal stability of the composites improved as expected. The results were supplemented by fracture studies by SEM.
