Effect of CaCO3 Nanoparticles on the Mechanical and Photo-Degradation Properties of LDPE

CaCO3 nanoparticles of around 60 nm were obtained by a co-precipitation method and used as filler to prepare low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites by melt blending. The nanoparticles were also organically modified with oleic acid (O-CaCO3) in order to improve their interaction with the LDPE mat...
