Abstract:
Polyethylene/silica nano composite was synthesized in different concentration includes 2%, 3%, 4%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of silica. The samples were subjected to physical evaluation; the result showed that the amount of silica was changed the optical properties (the maximum absorbance was at 284 nm) and the composite had moderate refractive index in infra-red region but it is de shielding in part of ultra violet region.
Mechanical properties was enhanced, the highest load was 5.4 to sample that contain 4% weigh of silica.
