Calcium Stearate and Alumina Trihydrate Addition of Irradiated LDPE, EVA and Blends with Electron Beam

Abstract:

Irradiation effects on the properties of alumina trihydrate (ATH) / low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/ ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) / calcium stearate (CS) have been studied and confirmed that EVA and CS addition to the polymeric blends have improved the mechanical properties. ATH addition increased the cross-linking density and improved the blend reinforcing factor but deteriorated the blend mechanical properties. CS addition made ease the ATH dispersion inside polymer matrix. CS addition optimum value in blends was 3 phr and CS addition above 3 phr value deteriorated the blends mechanical properties.
