Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

HDPE/PLA/EVA composites were prepared by melt blending and using EVA as compatibilizer.The effects of EVA content on mechanical properties and thermal properties were studied.The micro-morphology of the composites was analyzed by SEM.The results show that:with the increase of EVA content,both elongation at break and the impact strength of the composites increase gradually.SEM results show that:EVA can improve the compatibility of HDPE and PLA,but there is a slight effect on the thermal properties of composites with the addition of EVA.
