Abstract

The aim of this study is to study the effect of accelerated thermal aging towards the mechanical and thermal properties of HDPE. Accelerated thermal aging is the method to determine the long-term effects of expected levels of stress within a short period of time. The Q10 determination using Arrhenius Equation will be determine. The accelerated thermal aging of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) was studied in air atmospheric pressure and temperature (30°C at room temperature). The changes in elongation at break, hardness of aged material and density as a result of accelerated thermooxidative degradation were followed. Thermal analysis results will be compare with those relating to the variations in the elongation at break, hardness and the density as a consequence of accelerated thermal aging. Glass transition temperature, Tg will be analyze in order to see the relationship between tensile test result and Tg.
