Comparative study of mechanical properties on LDPE/clay and LDPE-g-MA/clay nancomposites for film packaging applications

The concept of nanoscale reinforcement provides opportunity for synthesis of polymer materials with unique properties. behavior of ldpe and ldpe-g-ma nanocomposites containing different nanofillers,such as nanoclay (cloisite®30b) were investigated. samples were prepared with the nano content 1 to 5 wt % and their mechanical properties such as tensile strength,young's modulus,impact strength have been considered. transition electron microscopy (tem) and wide angle x-ray diffraction (waxd) were in support of the formation of partially delaminated nanocomposite material.
