Mechanical and thermal characterization of chickenRaches/sawdust reinforced hdpe hybrid composites

This project emphasized on the wastage which can be recycled and gives a better product which can stop spoiling the
environment. In our country, there are so many different types of waste products, which will come from different
categories like factories, farms and houses. Among them two fibers such as neem saw dust, chicken feather rachis and
HDPE granules are chosen. These materials are combined to prepare granules by using single screw extruder and
strand pelletizer machines so that 7 compositions with different ratios are prepared using those granules. They are 80H10CF-10SD, 80H-5CF-15SD, 80H-15CF-5SD, 80H:20CF, 70H:30CF,70H:30SD and 80H:20SD. For those samples
Mechanical Properties using MFI and Specific Gravity tests, thermal properties using TGA and DSC tests and Optical
properties using FTIR testings for all samples will be determined. The above ratio samples are having better mechanical, thermal and optical characteristics when compared to individual fibre materials.
