Smectite clay low-density polyethylene nanocomposite

摘要

A low-density polyethylene nanocomposite comprising 5 weight percent or more of at least one nanoscale filler selected from the group consisting of montmorillonite clay, silica and zinc oxide. Changes in weatherability of the three low-density polyethylene nanocomposites based on the nanoscale fillers are determined. A surface area of the nanoscale filler in the nanocomposites is from 10 m2/g to 50 m2/g.

1. A smectite clay based low-density polyethylene nanocomposite in the form of pellets, consisting of
a low-density polyethylene resin having a melt index of 0.8 to 1.2 g/10 minutes (190° Celsius, 2.16 kg), and 5 weight % or more of a nanoscale montmorillonite clay modified with a quaternary ammonium salt and having a specific surface area of 10 m2/g to 50 m2/g.
