Development of green thermoplastic composites from Centella spent and study of its physicomechanical, tribological, and morphological characteristics

To enhance biodegradability of plastics and to utilize Centella spent (CTS) gainfully, green composites were prepared using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and CTS. The green composites were fabricated by extrusion, followed by injection molding. HDPE/CTS composites were fabricated with 10, 20, and 30 wt% of CTS using maleic anhydride-grafted-polyethylene (MA- g-PE) as compatibilizer. The fabricated composites were tested for physicomechanical...
