Potassium layered polytitanates influence on low-pressure polyethylene properties in wide concentrations range

Abstract

Thermoplastic composites based on low-pressure polyethylene and layered potassium titanates have been made in the work. We have shown the possibility to processing the composites into the products by injection molding at polytitanates content up to 50%wt. Technological properties of composites at low concentrations of filler are established. Layered potassium polytitanates influence on the mechanical and thermophysical properties of low-pressure polyethylene in a wide range of concentrations is investigated: from 1 to 50 %wt. Essential increase of complex of mechanical properties of polyethylene at introduction of small amounts of layered potassium polytitanates is shown. Due to the layered structure of the potassium polytitanates with particle size of about 500 nm in diameter and a thickness of less than 10 nm durability to shock loads increase comparable to the results of the introduction of fibrous potassiumhexatitanates is reached.
