The thermal degradation and thermal stability of rice husk flour (RHF) filled polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites in a nitrogen atmosphere were studied using thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal stability of pure PP and HDPE was found to be higher than that of wood flour (WF) and RHF. As the content of RHF increased, the thermal stability of the composites decreased and the ash content increased. The activation energy of the RHF filled PP composites increased slowly in the initial stage until α=0.3 (30% of thermal degradation region) and thereafter remained almost constant, whereas that of the RHF filled HDPE composites decreased at between 30 and 40 mass% of RHF content. The activation energy of the composites was found to depend on the dispersion and interfacial adhesion of RHF in the PP and HDPE matrix polymers.read more

Preparation and properties of recycled HDPE/natural fiber composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the fibers (wood and bagasse) and coupling agent type/concentration on the composite properties were studied, and the composites had lower crystallization peak temperatures and wider crystalline temperature range than neat high density polyethylene (RHDPE), and their thermal stability was lower than RHDPE.
