The effect of filler loading and coupling agent on properties of bentonite filled recycled high density polyethylene composites

Recycled high density polyethylene/ bentonite (RHDPE/Bentonite) composites had been prepared using Brabender Plasticorder at temperature 160˚C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. The effect of Bentonite loading and coupling agent on tensile properties, swelling behavior, morphology analysis, and spectroscop...
