Abstract: PE-HD composites were prepared with heat-treated straws. The influence of heat-treating temperature and time on the water absorption and mechanical properties of the composites was studied. It was found that the heat-treatment reduced the water absorption, increased the tensile and flexural strengths, however, a little decreased the impact strength. SEM revealed that the straw was uniformly mixed with PE-HD.
