“…Due to the comparatively low viscosity owing to the large amount of low-molecular-weight HDPE in the RBs, they could be easily blended with high-flow olefinic copolymers and thermoplastic elastomers by melt compounding. 31 Going beyond the scope of all-PE composites 6,28,29 prepared by melt compounding RBs with HDPE, nanophase-separated UHMWPE/HDPE wax RB additives were exploited as reinforcing agents for unmodified isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and ethylene-based copolymers. The thermoplastic ethylene-1-octene copolymer (Infuse 9007; OBC) as a thermoplastic elastomer and the ethylene-methacrylic acid Zn ionomer (Surlyn 1705-1) as an engineering plastic were selected as promising matrix materials owing to their high ethylene content.…”

“…van Meerveld [ 57 ] has presented a model based on the models of Likhtman and McLeish, [ 58 ] which has shown that the zero‐shear viscosity is a function of entanglement MW and monomeric friction factor. Also, Szántó et al [ 59 ] have proposed a model for the zero‐shear viscosity as a function of M w , M w / M n , and M z / M w . Furthermore, the low MW fraction (oligomer, waxy molecules) in the HDPE resin has the lubricating function and slides the high MW chains, effectively reducing the melt's viscosity.…”

“…The properties of HDPE are a function of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution (MWD), and mechanical properties are improved with higher molecular weights. A broader MWD promotes processability and impact resistance of polyethylene and narrower MWD leads to higher resistance to environmental stress‐cracking and superior toughness [18,19] . The modification of polyethylene properties can be achieved by copolymerizing ethylene with polar comonomers.…”

“…A broader MWD promotes processability and impact resistance of polyethylene and narrower MWD leads to higher resistance to environmental stress-cracking and superior toughness. [18,19] The modification of polyethylene properties can be achieved by copolymerizing ethylene with polar comonomers. Functionalizing polyethylene via ethylene copolymerization with polar comonomers offers improved toughness, adhesion, rheological characteristics, and printability.…”
