Ethylene-Octene Copolymers/Organoclay Nanocomposites: Preparation and Properties

Two ethylene-octene copolymers with 17 and 45 wt.% of octene (EOC-17 and EOC-45) were compared in nanocomposites with Cloisite 93A. EOC-45 nanocomposites have a higher elongation at break. Dynamical mechanical analysis (DMA) showed a decrease of tan⁡δ with frequency for EOC-17 nanocomposites, but de...
