Abstract
This study utilizes a polymer matrix made from a combination of Poly (Lactic Acid) (PLA) and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE). The polymer matrix is then improved by adding a compatibilizer, Polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), a filler, Recycled Tyre Waste (RTW), and a nano-scale filler, Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Examining how PE-g-MA, RTW, and GNPs influence the binary blend's (PLA/RTW) chemical and thermo-mechanical characteristics is the focus of this study. A twin-screw extruder is used for the melting and intercalating processes. The binary mixture consists of 5% PE-g-MA, five percent RTW, and 3% GNPs. The samples are then pelletized after being cooled to room temperature. Analysis and characterization of the pelletized samples thermal and chemical characteristics follow. After including a compatibilizer, filler, and nanofiller into the bionanocomposite, improved qualities are anticipated.
