Abstract:

Polyethylene (PE)/hydrotalcites (LDH) composite films were prepared through extrusion blow molding using three types of LDH, including the domestic products A and B, and imported product C. The effects of three types of LDH on the structure, heat preservation, mechanical properties, light transmittance, hydrophobicity, moisture retention and thermal properties of the composite films were investigated comparatively. When 8 % LDH were incorporated, the infrared absorbance integral area of the composite films increases by 183 % for the product A, 177 % for the product B and 77.1 % for the product C compared to pristine PE film. Mechanical analysis indicated that the composite films containing the domestic LDH achieved much better tensile strength and elongation at break and tended to be isotropic. All of the composite films presented the light transmittance higher than 89 %, and the haze of the composite films containing the imported LDH was smallest. Furthermore, there are no significant difference between the hydrophobicity and thermal properties of three types of composite films. Performance investigation indicated that the advantages of the imported LDH did not have outstanding comprehensive performance compared to the domestic ones. However, the domestic LDH are more cost?effective.
