Extract

ZnO nanoparticles were mixed with branched low-density polyethylene and were found to increase the resistance of the polymer to thermal degradation without changing other thermal properties. Submicron-size ZnO particles were mixed with low-density polyethylene for comparison, and it was found that the increased thermal stability of the nanocomposite was due to the surface properties of nanoparticles smaller than approximately 100 nm in diameter.
