Effect of Poly(Acrylic acid) on mechanical, morphology properties, X-Ray diffraction and water absorption of Nanoclay filled low density Polyethylene composites

Effects of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) of nanoclay filled low density polyethylene (LDPE) composite on mechanical and characterization were studied using Universal Testing Machine (UTM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and water absorption test respectively. The LDPE/nanocl...
