SILK FIBER ORIENTATION EFFECT ON TENSILE AND FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF ZEOLITE-REINFORCED HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITES
Keywords:
Silk Fiber, Tensile, Flexural, OrientationAbstract
The role of silk fibers (SF) orientation is very decisive on the mechanical performance of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with zeolite (Z) as a reinforcement material. This work aims to analyze the tensile and flexural characteristics of zeolite-filled HDPE (Z/HDPE) composites due to the incorporation of SF in numerous orientations. The SFs with a length of approximately 1 mm is chopped off for incorporation in the powder dry mix of Z and HDPE, which is ready for SF-oriented mold at angles ranging 0, ±22.5, ±45, ±67.5, and ±90o. The compression molding technology creates composites to fit dumbbell shape. The flexural test was carried out in compliance with the ASTM D790 standard, whereas tensile properties including elastic modulus, tensile strength, break elongation as well as yield strength were assessed on dumbbell shape composites. The findings demonstrate that the maximum force, as well as the elastic modulus, drop by changing the orientation of the fiber towards 0o. This propensity also takes place in failure and energy-breaking strains. With the SF orientation angle of 0o, the ultimate tensile strength and modulus of Young maximize. However, the E-modulus’ value exceeds that of the experimental.
