The preparation and properties of fibers based on V-HDPE/R-HDPE mixtures with different mass ratios

Bih Lii Chua
In order to explore how different mass ratio combinations of virgin high-density polyethylene (V-HDPE)/recycled high-density polyethylene (R-HDPE) affect fibre and print quality, this study conducts a series of analyses. Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a process used for fibre preparation investigation; it is possible to include five groups of ratios between R-HDPE 100% and V-HDPE 100%. The process of filament extrusion is supplemented with optical microscope observation. This helps establis
