Abstract
In this study, silvergrass (SV) reinforced high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites (WPCs) were prepared by injection molding. The effects of maleated polyethylene (MAPE), slivergrass fibers content on the mechanical, Differential scanning calorimeter, morphologies of WPCs were investigated. It was found that the mechanical properties of the SV reinforced HDPE composites can be improved by MAPE treatment. The highest tensile strength and flexural strength of the composites can be reached with 40% and 50% SV contents at the fixed 8% MAPE respectively. The SV can be the nucleating agent with the addition of MAPE. SEM images of tensile fracture surfaces of treated composites demonstrated better fiber-matrix adhesion.
