Diminishment the gas permeability of polyethylene by “densification” of the amorphous regions

Abstract High-density polyethylene/paraffin wax (HDPE/wax) systems with adjustable density of the amorphous regions were prepared by a melt-blending process to optimize/control the final oxygen barrier properties. The introduction of paraffin wax (a low molecular weight modifier) is the key to tune...
