Thermoplastic low density polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites with alumina as filler were prepared by melt intercalation process followed by compression moulding. Before blend the alumina with LDPE, alumina particles were dispersed by using ultrasonication process. To enhance the interaction between...
