Pseudo-Ductility, Morphology and Fractography Resulting from the Synergistic Effect of CaCO<sub>3</sub> and Bentonite in HDPE Polymer Nano Composite

Polymeric materials such as High density polyethylene(HDPE) are ductile in nature, having very low strength. In order to improve strength by non-treated rigid fillers, polymeric materials become extremely brittle. Therefore, this work focuses on achieving pseudo-ductility (high strength and ductilit...
