AB  - A series of nanocomposites made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and 10 wt% 
      zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were produced by extrusion and injection 
      molding. The nanoparticles were prepared via a green way using the pectin-based 
      banana peel extract as the stabilizer and a proper dispersion-providing agent. 
      The fillers were well-dispersed in the matrix and the composites exhibited 
      improved functional characteristics such as increased thermal stability and 
      mechanical properties. The presence of the pectin-organophilized filler had a 
      significant impact on the crystallization process of HDPE. The kinetics of the 
      degradation process was also altered in comparison to the pure polymer. The fire 
      properties of the composites were enhanced as the amount of the gas products 
      produced during their degradation was reduced, what was confirmed by 
      thermogravimetric analysis coupled with gas products analyses (TGA/FTIR/QMS). The 
      structure and morphology of the materials were characterized by scanning electron 
      microscope (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and 
      differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Additionally, the mechanical properties 
      were tested by tensile tests. An in-depth analysis revealed that the 
      HDPE-pectin-ZnO interactions are crucial for the structural and performance 
      properties of the final composite. The used biopolymer reacts with ZnO via ionic 
      interaction and through hydrogen bond in the case of HDPE.
