Abstract

Abstract: The aim of the study was to determine thermo-mechanical properties and applicability of sunflower husk waste as a filler for ultra low density polyethylene composites. The post agricultural waste filler was milled and chemically treated with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (3-APS). The amount of filler used was 5, 10 and 20 wt%. The mechanical and thermal properties of the composites containing unmodified and modified natural fillers were determined in the course of static tensile test, rebound resilience by Schob method, and dynamic mechanic thermal analysis. The influence of filler loading and chemical modification of the filler on the morphology of natural composites was evaluated by SEM analysis. Abstract :
