Morphology, Thermal and Mechanical properties of carbon Fiber/High Density Polyethylene (CF/HDPE) Composite

In this study, the thermal, mechanical and morphology of carbon fiber (CF) filled by high-density polyethylene composites are investigated as a function of fiber concentration. CF/HDPE composite films were fabricated using the melt processing method. The composite films were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile test, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results show that processing has strong effects on the properties of the composites.
