Engineering Mechanical Engineering composite coal HDPE polyethylene mechanical properties flexural strength tensile strength MAPE The research completed for this thesis evaluated the utilization of bituminous coal types from the Appalachian basin as filler material in high density polyethylene (HDPE) composite. The three coal types evaluated include Pittsburgh No. 8, Kittanning, and Upper Freeport. Further investigation of coal filler content (0-60wt. %) and coupling agent content (0-3 wt. %) impact on flexural strength, tensile strength and water absorption were investigated using Pittsburgh No. 8 as the filler. Surface chemistry of the coal was analyzed using Boehm analyses and compared to the surface chemistry of pine wood flour. Flexural strength of the composite was greatest at 30 wt. % coal, while tensile strength decreased with increasing coal content. Any addition of coupling agent in the composite saw little to negative impact on flexural and tensile properties. 2017 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1512564409202248 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1512564409202248 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
