Abstract
Benchmark results of physical, rheological and biodegradable properties of low (HDPE 273-83) and high (LDPE 15303-003) pressure polyethylene mixture by a factor of 1:1 supported on dried barley grass flour (200 microns maximum) ( 5–30 % by weight) enhanced by compatibilizer of 10 % (method functionalized with ultrathene alkaline alcohol exchange (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer 12206-007) and 1 % processing aid (polyethylene glycol (PEG-115 (4000)). It was concluded that the Young modulus and tensile strength do not decrease significantly with increase in vegetable reinforcement (up to 30 %). To compare the composite properties in terms of biodegradability, moisture uptake, chemical oxygen demand, and weight loss, a 12-month study was performed in laboratory soil. It is shown that an increase in the content of plant reinforcement increases the biodegradability of the composite. Resulting composites can be used in the production of various packaging materials.
