Investigation of mechanical properties of polymer composite material based on polyethylene with Fe2O3 nanoparticles

In this work, polymer composite materials based on linear low-density polyethylene and iron oxide nanoparticles were obtained. Nanoparticles of synthesized in plasma discharge under ultrasonic cavitation. When preparing materials, the concentration was varied from 0.5 to 20 wt. %. Measurements elastic modulus as well dynamic tests revealed strong dependence mechanic properties nanoparticle concentration.
