Modification of tensile and impact properties of crosslinked rubber toughened nanocomposites via electron beam irradiation

Enhancing the tensile and impact properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE)/ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) matrix is the main target of developing nanocomposite. The nanocomposite system was first prepared via melt intercalation method with different organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT)...
