Characterization and chemical oxidation of Nanoclay filled low density Polyethylene (LDPE) composites: the effect of Poly (acrylic acid)

The effects of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) on the characterization and chemical oxidation of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and nanoclay were studied with a Differential scanning calorimetriy (DSC), Thermalgravimetry analysis (TGA), oxidation behavior and Scanning electron microscope (SEM), respective...
