Fuzzy Assessment of the Izod Impact Energy of Date Palm Wood Fiber Recycled Low Density Polyethylene Composite

The izod impact energy of recycled low density polyethene composite filled with date palm wood fiber was achieved using a fuzzy logic model. The composite was tested with different percentages of 2 to 30% by weight of filler and with grain sizes of 150µm to 300µm. The izod impact energy experimental results obtained for the 2% filler by weight of the particle sizes were 1.46kj/m, 1.49kj/m, 1.52kj/m, and 1.55kj/m. The model developed predicted values of 1.55kj/m, 1.49kj/m, 1.52kj/m and 1.46kj/m. Comparison of the experimental and predicted results indicate little or no significant variation.. The results show that the coefficient of correlation (R) of all the predictions was above 0.999. This confirms the ability of the model as a substitute for prediction of the izod impact energy of LDPE filled with date palm wood flour.
