Petrothene LR 734001 (melt index

Petrothene LR 734001 (melt index 0.38 dg/min, density 0.954 g/cm3), an HDPE from Equistar Chemicals, was used as the polymeric matrix. Commercial wood flour from hardwood maple was used as the filler. This wood flour was low specific gravity (0.54), standard grade (100-mesh size) supplied by American Wood Fibers. Three endothermic CFAs [BIH40, sodium bicarbonate (SB), and FP] and three exothermic CFAs (Celogen-OT, Celogen-AZNP, and EX210) were utilized in this study. The detailed information on all these CFAs is described in Table I. Among the CFAs used, BIH40 and EX210 had polymer carriers, whereas SB, FP, Celogen-OT, and Celogen-AZNP had no polymer carrier. Maleated PE with a melt flow rate of 5 dg/min and a percentage of functionality of 1.0 (Polybond 3009, Uniroyal Chemicals) was used as the coupling agent.
