The influence of nano-ceramic modifier on the structure and properties of polyolefin composites

It has been shown, that the nano-ceramic modifier boehmite, with specific surface area of up to 400 m2/g and dispersion degree of less than100 nm, is a structurally active filler of an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. The boehmite influences the polymer crystalline and supra-molecular structure, during crystallization of the polymer from the melt under uniaxial plastic deformation conditions. It results in the production of nano-composites with an improved complex of properties.
