摘要
Recycling of High-density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic is a viable and economical method to progress in the path of a sustainable and eco-friendly initiative towards the eco-sustainable environment. This work is a pilot study to synthesize a polymer nanocomposite material from recycled HDPE reinforced with aluminium oxide nanoparticles to assess its potential applications as a packaging material. The microstructure of the newly synthesized material is characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was done to determine the crystallographic structure, while the thermal behaviour was analyzed through Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) test. Recycled HDPE is already being used in a variety of applications, however, reinforcing with nano alumina particles will alter the properties of HDPE composite which opens up a new arena of possibilities in the field of electronic packaging. © 2022
