LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (LDPE) NANOCOMPOSITES WITH PASSIVE AND ACTIVE BARRIER PROPERTIES
Nanocomposites based on Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) containing organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) and polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA) were obtained by the mixing molten state method at 130 °C (LDPE / PE-g-MA / Cv / OMMT). Furthermore, in order to obtain a material w...
