    EFFECT OF KAOLIN ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYPROPYLENE/ POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITE MATERIAL Samir Nassaf Mustafa ABSTRACT :- In this work, the mechanical and water absorption properties of polymer blend polypropylene (PP) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) at constant ratio (50/50) composites as a function of kaolin powder weight content in the grain size (100,120 µm) were investigated. Polymer composite was fabricated by mixing polymer blend ( PPLDPE) with (0, 1, 3 ,5, 10, 14) wt.% of kaolin

    of polyethylene (PE), high density and linear low density polyethylene. [1] The production process involves the transportation of the liquid ethylene feedstock, via pipeline, to the plant site followed by the production of various PE resins (pellet form). These PE pellets are then sold to consumers for use in common applications such as bottles for milk and other non-carbonated drinks, drums, fuel tanks for automobiles, toys and household goods. Due to the fact that high density polyethylene (HDPE)

    Like PE pipes, PP pipes weigh very little and have a lower density than water, so they float. Applications: • Sanitation piping. • Evacuation of rainwater. • Pipes without pressure. Unions: The PP pipe joining system is by melting, so that the product is welded as a single piece, without joints. 6. Multi-layer pipes:

    In PRO, water is transported through a semi-permeable membrane from the feed to pressurise the water on the draw side, then the pressurised water flow pushes the turbine to generate electricity. Even though the theory of harnessing power by mixing high-saline water and low-saline water was first brought up in the 1950s, and the mechanism was first proposed by Leob in 1970s. PRO was not widely accepted due its low performance. And the use of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was found to reduce the performance
