Abstract:In this study, we utilized in situ
nanofibrillation of thermoplastic
polyester ether elastomer (TPEE) within a high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) matrix to enhance the rheological properties, foamability,
and mechanical characteristics of the HDPE nanocomposite at both room
and subzero temperatures. Due to the inherent polarity differences
between these two components, TPEE is thermodynamically incompatible
with the nonpolar HDPE. To address this compatibility issue, we employed
a compatibilizer, styrene/ethylen… Show more
