Abstract EN
Nanocomposite materials have been used on a wide scale in industrial and structural applications.
The present work aims at studying the mechanical properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE) grade TR-401 hexene copolymer reinforced by montmorillonite nanoparticles (MMT), used to fabricate pipes and membranes vessels for reverse osmosis desalination plants.
Different volume fractions and particle sizes of the MMT clay were used to investigate the effect of this filler on the mechanical properties of the produced composite.
Mechanical properties tests were carried out and good improvements of the composite properties were obtained compared to the parent polymer.
The test results showed a significant enhancement of the mechanical properties at low filler proportions.
Pipe fabricated from these composites had many outstanding and desirable features.
For example, by adding 4.75% MMT to the HDPE produced quality pipes and fittings with the highest design stress basis of any polyethylene.
A significant increase in the modulus of elasticity observed, together with an unusual increase in the design stress, approved the HDPE / MMT composite for high pressure piping and membrane vessels used in reverse osmosis desalination plants.
