Abstract
A method of manufacturing a polymer composite comprising a polymer phase and agro-waste particles dispersed in the polymer phase, wherein the polymer phase is preferably obtained from polyolefin containing waste plastics, and the agro-waste particles are preferably obtained from date palm wood flour particles. Various combinations of embodiments are provided.
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a polymer composite comprising a polymer phase and agro-waste particles dispersed in the polymer phase, the method comprising:
- plasma treating polymer pellets, which comprise at least 80% by weight of a polyolefin relative to the total weight of the polymer pellets;
- mixing agro-waste particles with the polymer pellets to form a homogenous mixture;
- heating the homogenous mixture to form an extrusion precursor;
- and
- extruding the extrusion precursor thereby forming the polymer composite.
