This study aims to
investigate the effects of corn flour fillers on the
mechanical and thermal properties and surface morphology of low-density polyethylene composites. Low-density polyethylene
(LDPE) and low density polyethylene/corn flour (LDPE/CF) with
different loadings of CF (5%‐20% w/w) were prepared in an
internal mixer type Z-Blade mixer at 190°C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Thermogravimetric
analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and tensile
tests were analysed to investigate thermal
and mechanical properties. Tensile tests displayed an increase in the tensile
strength and modulus with the increase of CF loadings. The results of DMA tests showed significant improvements for the
storage modulus and glass transition temperature, T_g. The
results of TGA indicated that the addition of higher amounts of CF enhanced
thermal stability.
