A study was made of the influence of the quantity and nature of organomodifiers on the thermomechanical and physicomechanical properties of nanocomposites based on high-density polyethylene. The formation of crystalline structures when organoclay was introduced is shown. New nanocomposites are proposed that can be used in structural articles on account of their high mechanical properties.
