RESEARCH ON THE USE OF WOOD FLOUR AND CHICKEN FEATHER AS FILLER IN HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE BASED COMPOSITES

Abstract

In this study, the effects of wood flour addition and chicken feather usage rate on physical, mechanical and combustion properties in high-density (HDPE) based composites were investigated. Wood flour was used at a 0-15% rate and chicken feather at a 0-5-10-15% rate in composite production. Maleic anhydride-treated polyethyleneIn this study, the effects of wood flour addition and chicken feather usage rate on physical, mechanical and combustion properties in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) based composites were investigated. Wood flour was used at a 0-15% rate and chicken feather at a 0-5-10-15% rate in composite production. Maleic anhydride-treated polyethylene (MAPE) was used as a compatibilizer. Composite production was carried out in a total of 8 different combinations. The density value, tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break, flexural strength, flexural modulus, impact strength and horizontal burning rate values of the sample groups were determined. According to the test results, an increase occurred in the density value, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus with the use of wood flour. An increase was observed in tensile strength, elastic modulus and flexural strength values with the increase in the chicken feather usage rate. It was determined that the horizontal burning rates of the samples decreased with the addition of wood flour and the increase in the chicken feather usage rate. In particular, the flexural modulus in composites containing 15% wood flour and 15% chicken feather increased by more than 40% compared to the control group. This result shows that the mechanical performance of composite materials can be optimized with the synergistic effect of wood flour and chicken feather. (MAPE) was used as a compatibilizer.
