| ABSTRACT:- In this work composite material composed of high density polyethylene and inorganic pigment (carbon black and titanium dioxide) was prepared. Different amounts of carbon black and titanium dioxide (2– 15) wt% were added as filler. The preparation of filled and unfilled (High density polyethylene /Carbon black and titanium dioxide) composite was carried out using a single – screw extruder operated at a temperature of (170 – 190)oC.The incorporation was performed in a single screw extruder and sheets specimens were obtained by hot compression from extruded materials. Many mechanical and physical tests were used to determine the properties of the prepared composite material which involved compression strength, impact strength and modulus of elasticity for all the preparation composite. An untreated HDPE sheet is used for the purpose of comparison. In this study, the influence of addition of Carbon black and titanium dioxide, on the mechanical ,electrical and thermal a properties test of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The results show that the use of pigments, carbon black and TiO2 in appropriate concentration ratios give a reliable improvement in the mechanical properties. The weight fraction of the carbon blacks and titanium dioxide ranged from 0.0 up to 15 wt % with the high density polyethylene. By discharging a high voltage through the composite it was found that the resistivity of the composite decreased. Carbon black and titanium dioxide –highdensity polyethylene composites show significant differences from the neat high-density polyethylene measured in the frequency range. It was found that the carbon black and titanium dioxide/ high-density polyethylene composites have better thermal properties than the neat high-density polyethylene.
