Abstract: The effect of γ-irradiation on the molecular structure, melt flow rate, melting point, and crystallization structure of PE-HD and on the mechanical properties of PE-HD/wood-flour composites were studied through FT-IR , DSC, TEM, and mechanical properties testing. Because polar groups were generated on the PE-HD chain by γ-irradiation, the interfacial adhesion with wood-flour was enhanced, and the mechanical properties of the composite were improved. Both tensile and flexural strengths were increased by 80%, impact strength increased by 36%. SEM micrographs revealed that wood-flour was finely dispersed in polymer matrix.
