Preparation and Properties of LLDPE/EVA/Nano-ZnO Composites

Abstract

The process parameters of LLDPE/EVA/nano-ZnO composites were optimized by two methods. Samples were prepared under the better process parameters. The dispersion morphology and the mechanical properties of material were studied by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). And the mechanical properties of LLDPE/EVA/nano-ZnO composites were tested. It was showed that the optimization method based on neural network of BP and particle swarm optimization was better than that optimization method based on orthogonal experiment. The nanoeffect of ZnO particles was exerted which were distributed in LLDPE/EVA matrix, which result in the effect of reinforcing and toughening. Two-step method was better than direct dispersing method. The tensile strength was the highest when nano-ZnO amount was 3% under the two-step, the tensile strength was increased up to about 22%, and the fracture elongation rate was increased up to about 11%.

Effect of antibacterial nanocomposite film on the preservation of cheese

“…By absorbing the impact and radiation energy levels, the polymer had no obvious stress concentration phenomenon and achieved the mechanical equilibrium state of the composite material (Li & Li, 2010). Liu & Jia (2011) reported that the tensile strength was the highest when nano-ZnO amount was 3% under the two-step, the tensile strength was increased up to about 22%, and the fracture elongation rate was increased up to about 11%. Chen et al (Chen et al, 2021) reported that with the addition of 1.0 wt% Cu-MOF, the tensile strength and elongation at break are increased to 45.7 MPa and 2.4%, respectively.…”

Morphology evolution and mechanical property enhancement of linear low‐density polyethylene by adding disentangled ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene

“…Inorganic nanoparticles (e.g., nanometer ZnO, SiO 2 ) are usually incorporated into LLDPE matrix to enhance its mechanical properties 8–10 . Liu et al added 3 wt% nanometer zinc oxide particles into LLDPE matrix, and the tensile strength increased by 20% from 22.5 to 27.1 MPa 11 . However, inorganic nanoparticles are easy to arrange and stack into aggregates resulting in defects in the material 12 .…”
