【 摘 要 】

Through this paper an experimental investigation has been done. The composites of different reinforced material having significantly good strength and improved properties are prepared. A comparative study was performed among LLDPE with non-woven fabric, LLDPE and non-woven fabric reinforced with rice husk, LLDPE with non- woven fabric and ash of rice husk. Linear Low Density Polymer (LLDPE) is used as base material in this fabrication process. LLDPE is mixed with the non-woven fabric in different percentage composition by weight in addition to the other natural reinforcement material (rice husk). Further an experiment was performed to calculate the mechanical properties like tensile strength, Melt flow Index (MFI), flexural strength, hence a comparative study of composite with different types of reinforcement was done to investigate the effect of mixing of different reinforcement material. Results shows that LLDPE with non-woven fabric (15 %) have less strength as compared to LLDPE with non-woven fabric and rice husk (10 %) and LLDPE with non-woven fabric and ash of rice husk (5 %). Water absorption characteristics are studied following ASTMD 570, results shows that LLDPE absorbs 0.15 per cent water, followed by LLDPE with rice husk (0.03 %) and LLDPE with ash (0.038 %).
