Mechanical properties of PE, PP, Surlyn and EVA/clay nanocomposites for packaging films

The article deals with the preparation, properties and the usage of polymer barrier films. The problem of exfoliation and dispersion of the filler in the polymer matrix and mechanical properties of barrier films is discussed.

Description
Summary:The article deals with the preparation, properties and the usage of polymer barrier films. The problem of exfoliation and dispersion of the filler in the polymer matrix and mechanical properties of barrier films is discussed. This problem is connected with the use of nanofiller either in the polymer matrix or on the surface of prepared films. Together the evaluating comparison of used nanofillers is done. Polypropylene, polyethylene, EVA copolymer and Surlyn were used like polymer matrices. Organically modified montmorillonite (Cloisite 93A, 30B, 10A, Dellite 67) were used like nanofillers. Morphology (TEM, XRD) and mechanical properties were observed.
