Özet |
Selected physical and mechanical properties of the high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites filled with various mixtures of the wood flour and the tinder fungus (Fomes fomentarius) were investigated. For this aim, the different mixtures of tinder fungus flour and wood flour (0/40, 10/30, 20/20, and 30/10, and 40/0)(by weight) were compounded with HDPE with a coupling agent (maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAPE)) in a twin screw co-rotating extruder. The test specimens were then produced by injection moulding process. The thickness swelling and water absorption of the HDPE/wood composites significantly decreased with increasing content of the tinder fungus flour. The flexural strength of the HDPE composites filled with tinder fungus flour (10-30 wt%) did not decrease significantly as compared with the HDPE composites filled with wood flour (10-30 wt%). In addition, the tensile and flexural modulus of the HDPE composites filled with tinder fungus (10-40 wt%) did not show significant differences with the values of the HDPE composites filled with wood flour (10-40 wt%). Based on the findings obtained from the present study, the optimum physical and mechanical properties for the filled HDPE composites were found to be a 10/30/60/3 formulation of wood flour, tinder fungus, HDPE, and MAPE, respectively. |
