In this study, the influence of nanoclay (0, 2 and 4 wt, phc) loading on the physical properties of
nanocomposites is investigated. Composites based on the recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE),
bagasse flour and nanoclay was made by using a counter-rotating twin-screw extruder and then injection
molding. When 2 and 4 (phr) nanoclay were added, the water absorption decreased significantly, finally, the
thickness swelling of rHDPE/bagasse nanocomposites was lowered with the increase in nanoclay content.
Furthermore, we can conclude that addition of nanoclay enables to achieve better physical properties in
conventional composites.
