“…However, the overall effects for experiment (a) can be explained by the poor adhesion between the unmodified fiber and the polymer [10]. In fact, the tensile strength of short fiber reinforced composites is strongly dependent on the degree of adhesion between the fibers and matrix, while the modulus is strongly affected by the orientation of the fiber and less by the polymer-fiber adhesion [11].…”

“…In particular, efforts have been devoted to obtaining good mechanical properties for new WPCs [ 13 ]. For example, Maldas et al [ 14 ] discussed the effect of additives on fiber dispersion and mechanical properties in high-density polyethylene and peanut hull and a 10% pecan shell particle composite. The study was conducted to analyze the effect of maleate polyethylene (MAPE) and peroxide on mechanical characteristics.…”

“…No study has been published that used pecan tree pruning flour as reinforcement in polyethylene. Some studies have reported on composites using pecan shells [ 8 , 12 , 14 , 22 , 23 , 29 , 30 ], although with different responses. In these studies, the composites were coupled with different types of coupling agents depending on the matrix type, most of which were polyolefin and polylactic acid.…”

Micromechanical Modeling for Tensile Properties of Wood Plastic Composites: Use of Pruned Waste from Pecan Orchards as Sustainable Material for Reinforcement of Thermoplastic Composite

Wood plastic composites (WPCs) specimens containing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and wood pruning waste were manufactured and evaluated for their mechanical properties. Pecan waste was used as an accessible and sustainable source in this study, and the effects of its particle size and concentration on WPC strengths were evaluated. Pecan waste was milled and sieved to various particle sizes, and testing samples were fabricated by mixing them in a twin-screw extruder and injection molding. A coupling agent was used to create a stable bond between the HDPE and wood. Both tensile modulus and strength were increased with an increasing pecan flour concentration up to about 60 weigh percent. A micromechanical model is proposed for predicting the mechanical properties of the wood flour/fiber reinforce composite. This model uses a correction factor of an elliptical of carried sizes and shapes. The preliminary results of the model have a high correlation with the experimental values of the composite in all mesh sizes.

A linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) matrix was modified with an organic peroxide and by a reaction with maleic anhydride (MAn) and was simultaneously compounded with untreated wood flour in a twinscrew extruder. The thermal and mechanical properties of the modified LLDPE and the resulting composites were evaluated. The degree of crystallinity was reduced in the modified LLDPE, but it increased with the addition of wood flour for the formation of the composites. Significant improvements in the tensile strength, ductility, and creep resistance were obtained for the MAn-modified composites. This enhancement in the mechanical behavior could be attributed to an improvement in the compatibility between the filler and the matrix.
