Abstract
In this study, the effect of fish waste powder, base material polyethylene , and also the quantity of coupling agent (MAPE) on physical and mechanical properties of wood-plastic composite were studied. For this purpose, wood powder at 40% was mixed with 60% of HDPE. Fish waste in three levels (5, 10 and 15%) mixed into wood powder and coupling agent on three levels (0, 2 and 4) of HDPE in a blender at 180 °C and a speed rotating of 50 rpm, and samples were made with using of injection molding for standard tests. The mechanical properties: tensile and bending strength, bending and tensile modulus were investigated according of ASTM standards. This result suggests that increasing the amount of fish powder waste to 10%, increased bending strength while other strengths diminished. The amounts of all strengths were increased by increasing in percentage of coupling agent to 4%.The results shows that fish waste was suitable as a new material for wood plastics composites.
