Abstract Composite of oil Shale ash (OSA) filler and high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix was
formulated and studied. OSA mainly composed of Ca, Si, and Fe most of which in oxide forms.
OSA-HDPE composite with 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 wt. % OSA were produced using extrusion
and hot press. Mechanical, morphological, and water uptake properties of the composite are
discussed herein. While the tensile stress at yield, 47 MPa, restored its value close to the neat
HDPE, an increase in the mean values of the tensile stress at rapture from 19 to 33 MPa, the
tensile modulus from… More >
