Mechanical behavior of low density polyethylene shrimp shells composite

الملخص EN

I n the present work, the mechanical behavior of (LDPE-463) reinforced with Shrimp Shells (Metapenaeusaffinis) composite, as a function filler contact (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, wt %).

Filler concentration has an obvious effect on improving several mechanical parameters.

The parameters studied are young’s modules, stress at break, and stress at yield which were increased with increasing filler concentration.

Elongation as indirect results of stress at break was decreased with increasing filler concentration.

It was found that the addition of Shrimp Shells to the LDPE leads to decreases impact strength.

Results were analyzed in the frame of drawing model.
