Properties of Nanocomposites Based on High-Density Polyethylene

Resumo

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is one of the principal thermoplasts for manufacturing various types of pipes. Existing grades of HDPE pipes have poor physicochemical properties so that new thermoplastic construction materials with multifunctional properties must be used. These problems could be solved effectively by developing composites that allow the use of nanotechnologies to strengthen the polymer matrix and improve the initial property set.
