The Effect of Matrix Molecular Weight on the Dispersion of Nanoclay in Unmodified High Density Polyethylene
The effect of molecular weight on the dispersion of relatively polar montmorillonite (MMT) in non polar, unmodified high density polyethylene (HDPE) was examined. Polymer layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites were compounded using three unmodified HDPE matrices of differing molecular weight and an o...
