| Abstract: | Rice husk ash (RHA) obtained from rice husk by burning at different temperatures was used at 10%, 20% & 30% by weight as a filler in low density polyethylene(LDPE) and the mechanical properties were studied. RHA when burned cleaned rice husk at 420ºC (RHA 420) & 520ºC (RHA 520) were amorphous and at 900ºC (RHA 900) was less crystalline. There was no significant change in overall mechanical properties when LDPE was filled with even up to 30 % of RHA 420, RHA 520 & RHA 900 fillers respectively indicating the good LDPE-RHA interaction due to Si-OH groups. |
