AB  - Scaling commonly occurs at pipe wall during landfill leachate collection and 
      transportation, which may give rise to pipe rupture, thus posing harm to public 
      health and environment. To prevent scaling, this study prepared a low surface 
      energy nanocomposite by incorporating silicone-acrylate polymer and 
      hydrophobically modified nano-SiO(2) into the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) 
      substrate. Through the characterization of contact angle, scanning electron 
      microscopy and thermogravimetry, the results showed that the prepared composite 
      has low wettability and surface free energy, excellent thermal stability and 
      acid-base resistance. In addition, the prepared composite was compared with the 
      commercial HDPE pipe material regarding their performance on anti-scaling by 
      using an immersion test that places their samples into a simulated landfill 
      leachate. It was apparent that the prepared composite shows better scaling 
      resistance. The study further expects to provide insight into pipe materials 
      design and manufacture, thus to improve landfill leachate collection and 
      transportation.
