Study on the Preparation and Properties of Recycled Plastic/Rice Husk Powder Composites
Recycled plastic/recycled plastic rice husk powder composites were made by extrusion and injection molding process with rice husk powder and nonmedical recycled plastic. The influence of size,content of rice husk powder and surface treatment on the mechanical properties of the composite were investigated. The morphology of the composite was observed by SEM. The results show that the mechanical properties of the recycled plastic/rice husk powder composites first increase and then decrease with increase of the size of rice husk powder,and increase with increase of the content of rice husk powder. Mechanical properties of the composites are best when the content of the rice husk powder with 425 μm is 50%. Compared with recycled plastic,tensile strength,tensile modulus,flexural strength and flexural modulus of the composites reinforced by glass fibre increased by 82.01%, 414.66%,152.62%,436.99%.
