Study Of The Effect Of Graphite On Electrical Properties Of High Density Polyethylene

ABSTRACT

A sample of high density polyethylene and graphite powder was made to

study the effect of graphite power content on the electrical properties of high

density polyethylene, graphite offers the benefit of low density and cost

when compared to metallic substances used for the same function , the

sample was tested with different concentrations of graphite powder

(30,40,50)% and in different temperatures, the study reached to the following

results: The conductivity of the HDPE was increased according to the

increase of temperature, the conductivity of the HDPE was increased

according to the increase of graphite concentration, recommend to open the

door to study this new exciting type of polymer that can help in application would be impossible using metal.
