This work is a contribution to the development of nanocomposite materials by recovering post-consumer plastic waste. Nanoparticles were incorporated into a biocomposite made from recycled HDPE and Ronier leaf fibres (RLF). Nanoclay and nanoboron carbide were used as nanoparticles. It was found that the incorporation of nanoparticles increases the tensile properties, the hardness, the storage molulus and the loss modulus of the biocomposite. The addition of low amoung of nanoboron carbide trend to increase the Young modulus and decrease slightly the tensile strength. At the same time, we noted that the incorporation of nanoclay increases slightly the enthalpy and the degree of cristallinity while decreasing the melting temperature and the crystallization temperature.

摘要

This work is a contribution to the development of nanocomposite materials by recovering post-consumer plastic waste. Nanoparticles were incorporated into a biocomposite made from recycled HDPE and Ronier leaf fibres (RLF). Nanoclay and nanoboron carbide were used as nanoparticles. It was found that the incorporation of nanoparticles increases the tensile properties, the hardness, the storage molulus and the loss modulus of the biocomposite. The addition of low amoung of nanoboron carbide trend to increase the Young modulus and decrease slightly the tensile strength. At the same time, we noted that the incorporation of nanoclay increases slightly the enthalpy and the degree of cristallinity while decreasing the melting temperature and the crystallization temperature.
