On the Application of Modified Low Molecular Weight Polyethylene in Compositions with Starch

Structure and properties of compositions of linear low‐density polyethylene with starch

“…The tensile yield strength and elongation at break did not change significantly. The results correlated to those in References 10,16.…”

“…shown that in mixtures of graft copolymers of LMP and AA with starch, there is an interaction between the carboxyl groups of the AA units and the hydroxyl groups of starch. 16 These studies have shown that the introduction of graft copolymers into the composition also affects the supramolecular structure of LLDPE.…”

“…Polyethylene wax modified with polar compounds has also been used to improve the compatibility between polyethylene and starch 14 . Previously, we synthesized copolymers of AA grafted onto low‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (LMP) and demonstrated the possibility of using them as compatibilizers in high‐pressure polyethylene compositions with starch 15,16 …”

“…14 Previously, we synthesized copolymers of AA grafted onto low-molecular-weight polyethylene (LMP) and demonstrated the possibility of using them as compatibilizers in high-pressure polyethylene compositions with starch. 15,16 This study aimed to obtain compositions of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) with starch using grafted copolymers of LMP and AA as compatibilizers and conduct structural and physicomechanical investigations of the obtained compositions.…”
