Abstract:The utilization of
waste generated by natural resources is a crucial
problem nowadays. The current study describes the utilization of pineapple
(Ananas comosus) crown residue husk
(PCRh) as a strength additive for low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) composites. The blend composites
with 30% husk, 10 wt % EPR, and 60% LDPE content showed much better
mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and flexural properties,
than pristine LDPE and its binary composite with 10 wt % EP… Show more
