Water absorption and mechanical properties of the composite material based on high-density
polyethylene resin were investigated. High-density polyethylene resin was reinforced with (5, 10, 15, 20 and
25% by weight) ferric chloride. The parameters such as tensile strength, tensile modulus, hardness and impact
test were carried out on the prepared samples. It was found that the addition ferric chloride to the polymer
leads to increase the tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, hardness and impact strength. The water absorption
of the composite behaviors as a function of days was also studied. The result shows that it increases with
increasing exposure time for the same filler content, while the absorbed asmount of water increases by
increasing the wt% of ferric chloride constant exposure time.
