Enhanced Tensile Properties of Stone Wool Fiber-Reinforced High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Composites Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Abstract In this study, a mineral fiber composite of stone wool-reinforced high density polyethylene (HDPE) with different weight percentages was tested. For preparation of the samples a hot pressing technique was used. Significant improvement of the tensile strength was observed for composites of stone wool HDPE with a fiber content of 20 wt-%. The fracture surfaces of the samples were analyzed for their inter layer bounding by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
