Abstract

Polyethylene is being considered as a unique polymer in the whole plastic industry and it has numerous applications. Several modifications have been done to improve the properties and the better replacement of LDPE is by cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). XLPE has superior heat deformation characteristics. This chapter deals with morphological and mechanical characteristics of XLPE nanocomposites and blends composites. Main fabrication method of XLPE-based nanocomposites is melt mixing. Morphological analysis is done by several microscopic techniques. Evaluation of mechanical performance is very crucial to determine the end use of polymer nanocomposites. So here we analyzed both static and dynamic mechanical characteristics of XLPE-based nanocomposites.
