LDPE, XRD, SEM, reinforcement powders, MatrixAbstract
Polymer composite materials were manufactured as the base material made of low density ethylene using the thermal fusion method, the base material was supported using ZnO powder present in the Nano-form at a rate of (30-50) nm and in volumetric ratios by adding (5,10,15,20,25), Thermally treated models were treated Thermally manufactured takes three (3.6.9) and (40.60.80) degrees of heat. The models were subjected to a range of mechanical tests that included (surface solidity tests, shock resistance examinations), XRD x-ray scans and SEM (scanner electronic microscope) tests. The results showed that by grafting the materials in different proportions with nanomaterials, it was found that the optimum ratios that lead to the best case of improvement in mechanical properties were within 15%, and the treatment time had an effect on changing the mechanical properties shown by the manufactured models, Also the temperature had an effect on the mechanical properties of the manufactured composite material. As for the results of the X-ray spectrum for all models, a composite spectrum appears between crystalline materials and the spectrum of random matter, and the presence of sites in the spectrum that appear in the form of phases related to nanomaterials.
