Effect of montmorillonite (MMT) content on the mechanical, oxygen barrier, and thermal properties of rice husk/MMT hybrid filler-filled low-density polyethylene nanocomposite blown films
Montmorillonite (MMT)/rice husk (RH) hybrid filler-filled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposite films, containing 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 wt MMT (based on the total weight) were prepared by extrusion blown film. The films were characterized by morphological, mechanical, oxygen (O2) barrier, and...
