摘要

This research intends to synthesize and enrich the functional behavior of waste polyethylene (PE) and 5, 10, 15 and 20 vol% of natural jute fiber (JF) processed with 5% sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) surface treatment via a compression molding process. Its interfacial action is enhanced by the addition of Maleic Anhydride-Grafted Polyethylene (MAPE) compatibilizer via a compounding process (melt blending) at 200°C. The effect of processing and integration of JF/MAPE on the mechanical and microstructural behavior of PE composites was evaluated. Microstructural studies revealed that the JF is widely dispersed in the PE matrix. Among the composite groups, the PE/20 vol% JF composite sample offered maximum flexural strength, high compression strength, and optimum tensile stress, which is 31, 32, and 24% better than the PE. The composite sample of PE/20 vol% JF is utilized for automotive non-structural car panels, such as roof liners, dashboard components, and interior door panels.
