POLYETHYLENE NANOCOMPOSITE FILMS INCORPORATING LDPE/NANOCLAY MASTERBATCH

摘要

Nanocomposite blown films were prepared with blowup ratios from 1.5 to 2.5, by direct compounding with 5% nanoclay and direct let-down of a 25% nanocomposite masterbatch produced by double-stage mixing. Results demonstrated improved clay exfoliation and orientation in films manufactured from masterbatch.
