The Influence of Modifying HDPE on Properties of the Surface

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of the paper was to discover the influence of modifying HDPE with selected agents that is a blowing agent, in the course of the extrusion process, inclusive of determination how the modification affects selected physical properties and properties of the surface of HDPE extrusion product. Endothermic chemical blowing agents in the amount of 0.6 % by mass were used in the research. The article presents selected results of examination of melt flow rate (MFR) and microscopic structure.
