High-density polyethylene/mollusk shell-waste composites: effects of particle size and coupling agent on morphology, mechanical and thermal properties

Composites based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and mollusk shell-waste (MSW) particles, with several concentrations and two different micro-sizes, were prepared by melt compounding and injection molding. The matrix flow behavior was not altered by the MSW incorporations. SEM analyses revealed...
