Processing and properties of composites based on high density polyethylene and thermotrophic liquid crystalline polymers

This research was concerned with the processing and properties of composites of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs). Strands of HDPE reinforced with TLCPs were generated using a novel dual extruder mixing technique. It was shown that the strength and...
