The melt flow indexes of polyethylene modified with industrial and liquid-crystalline additives were determined. The wetting angles of polyethylene films by water and glycerine were measured, and their tribological characteristics were assessed. The effect of the modifier on the properties of low-density polyethylene is discussed.
