Study of the mechanical properties of low density polyethylene composites with cannabis (hemp fibers)‎

Abstract EN

-mechanical properties of hemp fibers (cellulosic fibers) composites were studied.

The range of added Hemp fibers has the values (0%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) of polyethylene weight and, the best fibers ratio was 5%.

The properties (LDPE / Cannabis) composites were analyzed as a function of the fibers amount.

All prepared composites showed improved fibers dispersion in the low density polyethylene matrix.

All composites displayed lower elongation of break compared to pure
