mechanical and electroconductive properties of glass fiber reinforced polyethylene filled with graphite

The main purpose of this article is to improve the mechanical and electroconductive properties of polyethylene by means of glass fiber and graphite. a compatiblizer (0.5, 1, 2 wt%) was used to improve the compatibility of the pe/glass fiber compound. graphite (15,20,30,40 wt%) was mixed with polyethylene compound. mechanical tests consist of tensile strength, impact strength, and flexural modulus were performed. the results of mechanical properties and electrical conductivity showed that the optimal amount of graphite was 20% by weight and also the amount of 20% graphite was suitable for electrical conductivity, for this reason, this compound can be used in industrial applications such as the automobile industry.
