The present work covered the preparation and study of PP- LLDPE- Coconut shell powder composite materials, the determination of the optimal preparation conditions and the characterization of their physical and mechanical properties.
In the present work, the rheological and mechanical properties of
polypropylene /thermoplastic starch (PP/TPS) and acrylonitril-butadienestyrene/
thermoplastic starch (ABS/TPS) blends were investigated. Starch was
plasticized using glycerol, and b
lends were prepared using a laboratory scale
with single screw extruder. Rheological properties of the prepared blends were
determined using a capillary rheometer. Mechanical properties were studied in
term of tensile tests, stress at break, strain at break and Young's modulus were
determined.
