Effects of Compatibilizer on Polyethylene Nanoplastic

Synthetic Materials Aging and Application 2010
Fang Hong

Summary

Researchers studied how adding a compatibilizer improves the properties of polyethylene-based nanoplastic composites containing organic montmorillonite clay. The compatibilizer reduced defects, improved particle dispersion, and boosted tensile strength and elongation, with 5 phr identified as the optimal concentration.

Polymers

The effect of compatibilizer on polyethylene nanoplastic was studied.The result showed that compatibilizer could improve the compatibility between polyethylene and organic montmorillonite,and the probability of stress concentration and defects of the composites caused by small particles were decreased greatly.It could increase the tensile strength and elongation at break of the polyethylene nanoplastic.The best content of compatibilizer should be 5phr according to the mechanical properties of the polyethylene nanoplastic.
