Optimization of Polyolefin-Bonded Hydroxyapatite Graphite for Sustainable Industrial Applications Polymer nanocomposites use polyolefins progressively as a grid, attributable to the variety in their highlights and forthcoming applications, even though normal polyester mix materials, like glass and composite materials, certainly stand out enough to be noticed from scientists. The primary structural component of bone and tooth enamel is the mineral hydroxy-apatite, or Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. This procedure results in stronger bones and a higher bone density. As a result, rods with extremely small particle sizes are made from eggshells into nanohms. Although numerous papers have been written about the advantages of polyolefins loaded with HA, the reinforcing effect of HA at low loadings has not yet been considered. The mechanical and thermal properties of polyolefin-HA nanocomposites were the focus of this study. HDPE and LDPE (LDPE) were used to construct these nanocomposites. We investigated what would happen if HA was added to LDPE composites at concentrations as high as 40% by weight as an extension of this work. Due to the remarkable improvements in their thermal, electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties, carbonaceous fillers like graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, and exfoliated graphite all play significant roles in nanotechnology. The study's objective was to investigate the effects of adding a layered filler like exfoliated graphite (EG) to microwave zones with potential mechanical, thermal, and electrical applications. Despite a slight decrease in these properties at a loading of 40% HA by weight, the incorporation of HA significantly improved mechanical and thermal properties. LLDPE matrices' increased load-bearing capacity suggests their potential application in biological settings.
