AB  - In this study, the effects of two variable parameters, namely the extractives and 
      filler loading level, on the physical properties of composites were examined. 
      Composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE), bagasse flour (BF) as 
      filler were made by injection molding. In order to increase the interphase 
      adhesion, maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAPE) was added as a coupling 
      agent to all the composites studied. Three different solvents, ethanol-benzene, 
      1% NaOH and hot-water, were used to remove extractives. Physical properties, 
      namely, water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS) were investigated for a 
      long period. At same filler loading, composites made with extracted bagasse had 
      higher WA and TS values. In addition, the TS of samples showed a similar pattern 
      to the water uptake data. The difference in WA between extracted and unextracted 
      composites is due to blocking of -OH groups by extractives. The results also 
      showed that as the BF content was increased, significant increase in WA and TS 
      occurred. Statistical analysis confirmed that the effects of both variables and 
      their interactions on the WA and TS properties were significant at 1% confidence 
      level.
