Properties of recycled polyethylene/chitosan composites: The effect of polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride

The surface of recycled polyethylene (RPE)/chitosan composites was modified with polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride (MAPE). The mechanical properties, water absorption, morphology, and thermal properties were investigated. The composites with MAPE improved tensile strength and Young's modulus...

The composites with MAPE improved tensile strength and Young's modulus but reduced elongation at break and water absorption.
