PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF VINYLSILANE CROSSLINKED THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES FILLED WITH NANOCLAYS

The effects of dicumyl peroxide/vinyltriethoxysilane (DCP/VTES) treatment, nanoclay content and the nature of the nanoclay were investigated for low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/clay and high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/clay nanocomposites. LDPE was treated with 0.1 phr of DCP with respectively 1 phr...
