Development of Polyethylene Conductive Composites for Blow Molding of Reusable Fuel Containers
摘要
The article presents the results of a study of the properties of conductive polyethylene composites intended for the manufacture of plastic fuel canisters by extrusion blow molding, based on low-density polyethylene (HDPE) and conductive grades of carbon black (CB). Within the framework of the work, the deformation-strength properties, specific volumetric electrical resistance, melt flow index, and density of the obtained materials were studied. It is shown that the grade of HDPE, as well as the grade and concentration of CB, determine the complex of operational and technological properties of the resulting composite, and, in the general case, for effective dissipation of static electricity, the concentration of CB in the composite should be 15–20 wt %
