Master batch dilution as an efficient route toward polyethylene based nanocomposites

In this research, the dilution torque of polyethylene containing 1wt% carbon black was scrutinized. It showed an overshoot followed by a short width plateau and complemented by a large secondary plateau. The area under the first plateau, plastification energy of the neat PE, increased with the CB weight fraction of nanocomposites to 0.25 and then decreased. Dilution energy, the area under secondary plateau, however decreased monotonically by the master batch carbon black content of the nanocomposite. Finally overall dilution energy was reduced with the CB wt.% increase
