Synergistic effect of industrial waste in high density polyethylene

This article emphasizes the effect of industrial waste such as marble sludge (ms) on high density polyethylene (hdpe) composites. marble sludge (ms) was first dried,ground and passed through 63,125 and 250 μm sieves to obtain desiring particle sizes. chemical composition of ms powder was determined by xrf-fluorescence spectrometer. by incorporating ms the toughness of matrix is enhanced thereby making the composite suitable for more strategic engineering applications. hdpe melted compound with different compositions and particle sizes of ms. the effects of ms content and particle sizes in the composite on mfi,density,mechanical,and barrier properties are investigated. reinforcement with ms proved to enhance the mechanical properties of the composites. all mechanical properties of 63 μm size ms particle filled hdpe composites having improved value than other particle sizes.
