Study on composites using breadfruit seed hull ash particles (BFSHAp) as a reinforcing material and recycled low-density polyethylene (RLDPE) as a novel matrix has been made. The composites were produced by varying the breadfruit seed hull ash particles from 5-25wt% and the properties studied using mechanical tests and microstructural analysis. The results show that there was a uniform distribution of the breadfruit seed hull ash particles in the microstructure of RLDPE composites which is the major factor responsible for the improvement in the mechanical properties https://scientiairanica.sharif.edu/article_3519_e73cd972f71b583395c855feb5531dc2.pdf
