AB  - In recent years, the development and use of polymeric nanocomposites in creating 
      advanced materials has expanded exponentially. A substantial amount of research 
      has been done in order to design polymeric nanocomposites in a safe and efficient 
      manner. In the present study, the impact of processing parameters, such as, 
      barrel temperature, and residence time on the mechanical and thermal properties 
      of high density polyethylene (HDPE)-TiO(2) nanocomposites were investigated. 
      Additionally, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy 
      were used to analyze the dispersion, location, and phase morphology of TiO(2) on 
      the HDPE matrix. Mechanical tests revealed that tensile strength of the 
      fabricated HDPE-TiO(2) nanocomposites ranged between 22.53 and 26.30 MPa, while the 
      Young's modulus showed a consistent increase as the barrel temperature increased 
      from 150  degrees C to 300  degrees C. Moreover, the thermal stability decreased as the barrel 
      temperature increased.
