The Structure and Properties of HDPE/EAA-Hydrotalcite Master Batch Nanocomposites

Abstract:

The High-density polyethylene (HDPE) / the ethylene acrylic acid (EAA) - layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending with EAA)/ LDH master batch; and the structure and properties of this nanocomposite were studied. The results showed that the EAA acted as an effective compatibilizer for the nanocomposites can enhance the interfacial adhesion between LDH and HDPE obviously, promote the dispersion of LDH in the matrix, increase both the tensile strength and toughness of nanocomposites, and improve the thermal stability and delay the onset decomposition temperature of nanocomposites.
