Abstract

To reduce the massive consumption of HDPE, which causes environmental problems, we offer biodegradable composite materials, at low cost and with low density. In this context, a study devoted to the valorization of lignocellulosic waste, a particular interest has been brought to the pistachio shell filler, as vegetable filler in the manufacture of high-density polyethylene matrix composite materials with a filler rate of 5% to 15%. The HDPE/FCP composites were initially mixed in a calendar before preparing the different sample shapes with a thickness of 2 and 3mm by compression at 190°C. The latter were characterized by various techniques: rheological, mechanical, physical tests, and morphological.
