      Properties of Boehmite/HDPE Nanocomposite Film.

AB  - Nanocomposites comprising high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and boehmite (BA) 
      nanoparticles were prepared by melt blending and subsequently irradiated with 
      electrons. Electron irradiation of HDPE causes crosslinking and, in the presence 
      of BA, generates ketone functional groups. The functional groups can then form 
      hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the BA. Additionally, 
      if the BA is surface modified by vinyltrimethoxysilane (vBA), it can covalently 
      bond with the HDPE by irradiation-induced radical grafting. The strong covalent 
      bonds generated by electron beam irradiation allow the desirable properties of 
      the nanofiller to be transferred to the rest of the nanocomposite. Since EB 
      irradiation produces a great number of strong covalent bonds between vBA 
      nanoparticles and HDPE, the modulus of elasticity, yield strength, and resistance 
      to thermal shrinkage are enhanced by electron irradiation.
