The linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) products made by rotational molding (RM) usually involve two main problems of poor dimensional stability and insufficient mechanical properties. Although the decline in thermal expansion coefficient and rise in mechanical strength can be attained by filling with inorganic particles, the melt fluidity of LLDPE, which is of great importance for RM, would be significantly reduced. In this study, a combination of crosslinker low‐temperature blending and partial chemical crosslinking strategy is employed to enhance the dimensional stability and mechanical properties of LLDPE without sacrificing the melt fluidity. The structure–property relationships in the crosslinked specimens are analyzed based on X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and dielectric spectrometry. The results show that our simple, low‐cost and universal strategy not only contributes to a better dimensional stability and significantly improved mechanical properties, but also endow the samples with promising processability and thermal stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
