The rheological properties of nanocomposites based on high-density polyethylene are considered. The advantages of introducing carbon nanotubes and laproxide as modifiers of high-density polyethylene to control their rheological properties are shown.
The promise of composite materials is not in doubt. A considerable number of studies have been devoted to this group of materials. However, many aspects of the practical realisation of the properties of these materials remain inadequately developed [1].
