Effect UV/O3 Modified Rice Husk on the Mechanical Properties of Recycle HDPE Rice Husk Composite / Nishata Royan Rajendran Royan ...[et al.]

Modifications of rice husk (RH) surfaces by ultraviolet-ozonolysis (UV/O3) treatment were carried out in order to study the effects on the mechanical properties. The untreated and treated RH was characterized by FTIR, TGA and SEM. Recycled HDPE/RH composites were prepared with five different loading...
