Influence of Rutile and Anatase TiO₂Nanoparticles on Polyethylene Properties

The TiO2–Clay-LDPE Nanocomposite Packaging Films: Investigation on the Structure and Physicomechanical Properties

“…In other research by Panaitescu, nanocomposite production through masterbatch dilution was more efficient than direct mixing, hence resulting in increased mechanical properties of TiO 2 -PE nanocomposites. Besides, there was no significant difference in mechanical and morphological properties of different forms of TiO 2 , e.g., anatase and rutile TiO 2 except for the elastic modulus [22] .…”

Preparation and Characterization of Polyindole–Iron Oxide Composite Polymer Electrolyte Containing LiClO4

“…It has specifically been observed that the size of dispersed particles plays a significant role in controlling the physical= electrochemical properties of Composite Polymer Electrolytes (CPE) [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Transition metal oxides such as copper oxide, iron oxide, nickel oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles have special physicochemical properties and high specific surface area, which may be different from their atomic or bulk counterparts [7][8][9][10][11] .…”

Effect of Molecular Structure Parameters on Crystallinity and Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance of High‐Density Polyethylene/TiO2 Nanocomposites

“…This means that the shape of crystal changed by introducing nanoTiO 2 , as it has been reported earlier by Panaitescu et al 17 Nanoparticles of TiO 2 in PE matrix caused to increase spherical crystals and to diminish their size as a result of nucleation. 42 Thus, crystal content increased by introducing nanoTiO 2 to HDPE matrix as a result of increasing interactions between polymer chains and nanoparticles, as it is seen in Table V.…”

“…16 An investigation on the influence of TiO 2 type on properties of polyethylene/nano-TiO 2 revealed that no significant difference in mechanical and morphological properties of polyethylene nanocomposites observed using rutile and anatase TiO 2 nanoparticles except higher increase in the elastic modulus in case of anatase-containing composites. 17 Wang et al 18 pointed out that the introduction of 2 wt% of nano-TiO 2 in composite through melt compounding improves the mechanical properties compared to neat PE, and resulted in 45% increase in PE impact strength. Acierno et al 19 in a comparison between micro and nano-TiO 2 particles and their influence on properties of polypropylene composite reported that nanoparticles increased rheological elastic and viscous moduli, while negligible effects observed for the microcomposite.…”
