Effect of different dispersing additives on the morphology and the properties of polyethylene-based nanocomposite films

In this work, the use of a polar wax, e.g. amphiphilic Tegomer® E 525 (TEG) is investigated with the aim of modifying, and possibly improving, the dispersion of an organically modified nanoclay (OMMT), loaded at 5 wt%, in a polyethylene matrix (PE) at relatively low loading levels. We have...
