Abstract

The work aims to prepare antistatic packaging material for special products. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were utilized to melt blending with linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), the effect of CNT content on the electrical property, mechanical property, crystallization behavior and thermal stability were investigated. The application performance of optimal formula system was also conducted. It was shown that the CNT possessed large length diameter ratio, high purity and had a diameter of 10-20 nanometers. The percolation phenomenon was observed in LLDPE/CNT composites. With the CNT content increased from 3% to 5%, the surface resistivity decreased from 1013Ω to 105Ω sharply. With the increase of CNT, the tensile strength increased, the elongation at break and impact strength decreased. The CNT showed little influence on the melting behavior of LLDPE; however the crystallinity and melting temperature decreased and the degradation temperature increased slightly with the increase of CNT. It was also revealed that the composites with 4wt% CNT content exhibited optimal comprehensive performance. The thermo-oxidative aging had little influence on the antistatic property of LLDPE/CNT composites. The melt flow index decreased and the oxidation induction time increased compared with neat LLDPE. In conclusion, antistatic LLDPE/CNT composites with excellent comprehensive properties prepared by modifying LLDPE resin with CNT exhibit great technological potential for application in special product packaging.
