Influence of process condition on properties of silane-crosslinked Polyethylene

Organically modified montmorillonite and linear low density polyethylene grafted with silane group was melt compounded to obtain LLDPE-g-silane-blend-org-MMT nanocomposites. The XRD and SEM results approve that graft polymer chains have been successfully interacted into MMT. The TGA curves show that increasing in thermal properties is due to formation of chemical bonds between PE and MMT layers. The PE chains have been chemically bounded to OMT layers proved by FTIR spectera.
