“…[8][9][10] As a common inorganic filler, zinc oxide (ZnO) is often utilized in polymer composites, gaining much attention in improvement of mechanical properties, antibacterial activities, UV radiation absorption properties, and so forth. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Additionally, since ZnO can react with H 2 S, the ZnO-filled polymer composites possess a H 2 S-resistant ability. 6,7,21 As a typical non-polar polymer, HDPE does not have reactive groups in its structure, resulting in its poor compatibility with most of inorganic fillers, and the interfacial bonding of the inorganic filler to the matrix is generally weak.…”
