TI  - High Density Polyethylene Composites Reinforced with Hybrid Inorganic Fillers: 
      Morphology, Mechanical and Thermal Expansion Performance.

AB  - The effect of individual and combined talc and glass fibers (GFs) on mechanical 
      and thermal expansion performance of the filled high density polyethylene (HDPE) 
      composites was studied. Several published models were adapted to fit the measured 
      tensile modulus and strength of various composite systems. It was shown that the 
      use of silane-modified GFs had a much larger effect in improving mechanical 
      properties and in reducing linear coefficient of thermal expansion (LCTE) values 
      of filled composites, compared with the use of un-modified talc particles due to 
      enhanced bonding to the matrix, larger aspect ratio, and fiber alignment for GFs. 
      Mechanical properties and LCTE values of composites with combined talc and GF 
      fillers varied with talc and GF ratio at a given total filler loading level. The 
      use of a larger portion of GFs in the mix can lead to better composite 
      performance, while the use of talc can help lower the composite costs and 
      increase its recyclability. The use of 30 wt % combined filler seems necessary to 
      control LCTE values of filled HDPE in the data value range generally reported for 
      commercial wood plastic composites. Tensile modulus for talc-filled composite can 
      be predicted with rule of mixture, while a PPA-based model can be used to predict 
      the modulus and strength of GF-filled composites.
