Development of poly (linear low‐density ethylene)/poly (ethylene‐methyl co‐acrylate) blends with enhanced thermal‐stability and toughening behavior with adding of carbonaceous fillers
Abstract:In this work, polymer blend nanocomposites based on carbon fillers were produced via melt‐compounding in a twin‐screw extruder. A combination of several matrices (LLDPE, EMA, and LLDPE/EMA) and fillers (FLG, FWCNT, and FLG/FWCNT) was used. Thermal enhancement as the consequence of few‐walled carbon nanotube addition, led to significant improvements in the initial degradation temperatures of LLDPE (383.2 > 441.2°C), EMA (371.2 > 417.3°C), and LLDPE/EMA (390.55 > 430.62°C) matrixes, respectively. The evaluation … Show more
