Abstract

The effect of nanofiller (NF) additives containing zinc oxide nanoparticles stabilized by a polymer matrix of high pressure polyethylene obtained by the mechanochemical method on the structure and properties of metal-containing nanocomposites based on isotactic polypropylene (PP) and high pressure polyethylene (PE) using differential thermal (DTA) and X-ray phase (XRD) analyses was studied. The improvement of strength, deformation, and rheological parameters, as well as thermal-oxidative stability of the obtained nanocomposites, was revealed, which, apparently, is associated with the synergistic effect of interfacial interaction of zinc-containing nanoparticles in the PE matrix with the components of the PP/PE polymer composition. It is shown that nanocomposites based on PP/PE/NF can be processed both by the pressing method and by the injection molding and extrusion methods, which expands the scope of its application.

The effect of a zinc oxide nanofiller stabilized by a high-pressure polyethylene matrix, obtained by a mechanochemical method, on the properties of composites based on PP/PE was investigated.

XRD patterns confirm the presence of zinc oxide nanoparticles in the composites based on PP/PE.

An improvement in the strength, deformation, and rheological parameters, as well as the thermal-oxidative stability of the obtained nanocomposites, has been revealed.

It is shown that nanocomposites based on PP/PE/NN can be processed both by pressing and by injection molding and extrusion.

It has been shown that it is promising to use as an additive to PP/PE a nanofiller containing NPs of zinc oxides stabilized by a matrix of high-pressure polyethylene, obtained by a mechanochemical method, which contributes to the creation of a fine-crystalline structure of the composition, in connection with which its properties are improved and, thus, the fields of application of the obtained nanocomposite are expanded.
