In the present study, a commercial organophilic MMT was used to prepare nanocomposites based on Polyethylene (PE) and functionalyzed PE (PEg) by melt compounding the three materials simultaneously. The purpose of the study is to analyze the relationship between the morphology of the nanocomposites and their linear viscoelastic properties.
