Thermoplastic polymer composites from HDPE of drinking water bottles and bagasse fibers, waste from sugar production, were prepared. Many kinds of additives were studied for improving composites' properties. The results showed that adding MAH-EPDM could improve composites' properties better than adding both PE-g-MAH and SAN-EPDM or adding EVA alone. The MAH content in EPDM affected composites' properties. With higher MAH content, the composites would show higher strength but lower impact property. For thermal properties, T sub(m) of all systems were not different but delta S sub(m) of SAN-EPDM filled system was higher than that of other systems because the rigid styrene group hindered molecular arrangement, rendering the composites system disorderly.
