Synergistic effects of micro- and macro-sized palm kernel shell fillers on the tensile properties of HDPE composites by Abdul-Manan Kayaba, Obed Issakah, Stefania Akromah, E. E. Nettey-Oppong, Eric Kwame Anokye Asare

“…However, the incorporation of larger PKS particles (PKSL) had a detrimental effect on the tensile properties, with increasing PKSL content leading to significant reductions in tensile properties. For example, for 7.5 wt% PKSL, E decreased by approximately 18%, yield strength by 37%, UTS by 24%, stress at failure by 29%, and total elongation by 62%. …”
