Effect of Natural Rubber in Polyethylene Composites on Morphology, Mechanical Properties and Biodegradability

Compounding natural additives with synthetic polymers allows developing more eco-friendly materials with enhanced biodegradability. The composite films based on low-density polyethylene (PE) with different content of natural rubber (NR) (10−30 wt%) were investigated. The influence of NR co...
