A novel approach for preparation of nanocomposites with an excellent rigidity/deformability balance based on reinforced HDPE with halloysite

Reactive processing-microstructure-mechanical performance correlations in biodegradable poly(lactic acid)/expanded graphite nanocomposites

“…For most reinforcement agents, the later cannot be obtained. 18–20 It has been reported that by attaining optimal dispersion state of nanoparticles in a polymeric matrix through applying an adequate processing and fabrication method, improved reinforcement effect of nanofiller will be observed. 20 Better dispersion and delamination of EGL comparing to the other EGs are two reasons that obtaining higher mechanical properties.…”

Structural and nonlinear J-integral fracture toughness for nanoclay toughened ternary HDPE/LDPE-g-MA/ABS blend nanocomposites

“…% halloysite nanotubes (HNT) into HDPE/methylaluminoxane-activator clearly induced a better stiffness and toughness for the increased rigidity along with relatively high aspect ratio of HNT and good dispersion. 14,15 Likewise, incorporating 10 % nano-silica (n-SiO 2 ) particles with rubber/PP composites showed a good rigidity-toughness balance and higher mechanical properties than the polymer blend. 16…”

Reinforcement of the thermal stability and mechanical properties of low-density polyethylene/high-density polyethylene foam using a modified calcium sulfate whisker

“…In comparison with LDPE, HDPE is a unique class of non-polar and higher crystallinity thermoplastic resins with high thermal stability and rigidity, thus showing good potential for expanding LDPE foam applications. 23–25 For these reasons, LDPE resin is generally blended with polymers that are compatible with it and have enhancement mechanisms, for example, LDPE/HDPE blends are commonly used for coaxial cable insulation to meet the requirement of both the mechanical properties and the foaming performances. 26…”
