Abstract
Scientists and Researchers from all over the world are collaborating to develop innovative compounds that can improve the ecological performance of finished goods and should be eco-friendly. Composites made from natural fibres offer an alternative to synthetic materials that are harmful for the environment and help reduce pollution. Additionally, they are inexpensive, have superior mechanical qualities, and use little energy during production. The polymer Nano composites materials are made of reinforcing material with nanometre-sized filler particles and polymer as the matrix material. These substances have various physical and chemical characteristics, and when combined, they produce Nano composites with special qualities. The polymer matrix consists of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was used and some common nanoclays used as reinforcements include Rice Husk Ash Hybrid (RHA), Cloisite (30B), Cloisite (25A), and Montmorillonite (MMT). These nanoclay compositions contain between 4% and 0% HDPE reinforcement. In order to improve HDPE's adherence to nanoclay, HDPE was grafted with Maleic Anhydride (HDPE-g-MA) to make it more compatible with other materials. In the present study different nanocomposites were made and their comparative study was done. After that different specification and characteristics were studied and compaired for getting a best nanocomposite. Several nanoclays with different Nano composites concentrations have their tensile strengths compared. A variety of nanoclays/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blends were tested to determine which measured the hardest (in terms of D shore hardness) and was most resistant (in terms of Izod impact strength).
