Study of tensile strength and compression strength of binary polymeric blends (High Density poly ethylene /polycarbonate)

Abstract

In this work, HDPE/PC binary polymeric blends has been made by using the singlescrew extruder machine .The tensile strength measurements showed that this blend have higherresults reflects the homogeneity of the mixture and higher strengthcompared with that of single material the strength like HDPE or PC aloneand these values increase when blending with ratio (80/20) of (HDPE/PC);and increase more when reinforcing with E-glass fibers (1%). Also in thecompressive strength increases for blends of (80/20%) (HDPE/PC)furthermore, a composite of these blends with E-glass fiber these valuesare increased more .
