Accelerated Weatherability of the Low-Density Polyethylene Nanocomposites with Silica, Clay, and Zinc Oxide

Nanocomposites based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with MMT clay, nanosilica, and nanoscale zinc oxide (at 5 wt.%) were prepared by melt processing and evaluated for durability using laboratory accelerated weathering. The changes in tensile properties of the nanocomposites with the duration of...
