  STUDIES ON MECHANICAL, OPTICAL AND BARRIER PROPERTIES OF LOW DENSITY POLY ETHYLENE WITH MICRO CLAY

  By S Soundararajan, GOKULANANDHAN V, KALAIVANAN M, SUNDERASAN L, VEERAMANI T, NAYAK Sanjay K

  Abstract: LDPE (Low density Poly ethylene) was melt blended with micro clay (0.5, 1, 3 & 5 wt%) by using a twin screw compounding extruder. Tubular blown film was taken using a tubular blown film extruder. Mechanical, optical and barrier properties were evaluated. The following trend was observed as the micro clay concentration was increased: The tensile strength was increased by 18% in machine direction (M/D) and decreased by 36% in …
