      Composites.

AB  - The main objective of this work is to develop a variety of hybrid high-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE) micro- and nanocomposites and to investigate their thermal, 
      mechanical, and morphological characteristics as a function of number of fillers 
      and their contents percentage. In this study, 21 formulations of the composites 
      were prepared using fillers with different sizes including micro fillers such as 
      talc, calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)), as well as nano-filler (fumed silica (FS)) 
      though the melt blending technique. The morphological, mechanical, and thermal 
      properties of the composite samples were evaluated. The morphological study 
      revealed negligible filler agglomerates, good matrix-filler interfacial bonding 
      in case of combined both CaCO(3) and FS into the composites. Sequentially, 
      improvements in tensile, flexural and Izod impact strengths as a function of 
      fillers loading in the HDPE matrix have been reported. The maximum enhancement 
      (%) of tensile, flexural and impact strengths were 127%, 86% and 16.6%, 
      respectively, for composites containing 25% CaCO(3) and 1% FS without any 
      inclusion of talc filler; this indicates that the types/nature, size, quantity 
      and dispersion status of fillers are playing a major role in the mechanical 
      properties of the prepared composites more than the number of the used fillers.
