Polyethylene/synthetic boehmite alumina nanocomposites: Structure, thermal and rheological properties

Synthetic boehmite alumina (BA) has been incorporated up to 8 wt% in low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE), respectively, by melt compounding. The primary nominal particle size of these two BA grades was 40 and 60 nm, respectively. The dispersion of the BA in polyethyl...
