Qısa məlumat

In this study, the effects of different amounts of carbon and basalt fibre concentrations used as reinforcement materials on the compressive strength properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix composites were investigated. Maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA) compatibilizer was used to increase adhesion between reinforcement phases and matrix elements. Composites containing carbon and basalt short fibres in different weight ratios were produced by the melt blending method. Compression tests of polymer composite samples were made at a compression speed of 2 mm/min in accordance with ASTM D5467 standard. As a result of the tests, it was observed that the best compressive strength properties were in 20% BF reinforced composite samples.
