Influence of processing variables on the mechanical behavior of HDPE/clay nanocomposites

Influence of processing variables on the mechanical behavior of HDPE/clay nanocomposites

Nanocomposites were processed using the technique of melt intercalation, starting from a concentrated polar compatibilizer/organoclay (PE-g-MA/organoclay) prepared in an internal mixer. The concentrate was incorporated into the matrix of HDPE by two methods: I) counter-rotating twin-screw extruder a...
