Abstract:

This study proposes melt-blending polypropylene (PP) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) that have a similar melt flow index (MFI) to form PP/HDPE polyblends. Polypropylene plays a vital role in polymers. It is affected by some superior properties likewise related to the thermal and mechanical property so that by blending with high density polyethylene (HDPE) we will satisfy that characteristics and it will be efficient in economically too. The influence of the content of HDPE on the properties and compatibility of polyblends is examined by using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A technique whereby the weight of a substance, in an environment heated or cooled at a controlled rate, is recorded as a function of time or temperature by using Thermogravimetry (TG). The transition between the solid and liquid states is examined by using Glass transition temperature (Tg).
