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.
