Abstract New thermoplastic elastomers have been prepared from the blends of metallocene-based polyolefins (Engage) with low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) of different grades with LDPE by electron beam modification. Structural changes of these blends with or without sensitizer in presence of irradiation have been evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicate the soft rubber domain in the continuous plastic matrix. Significant improvements of mechanical, dynamic mechanical and set properties have been obtained by electron beam modification, retaining its reprocessibility characteristics. Effects of ditrimethylol propane tetraacrylate (DTMPTA) as radiation sensitizer have also been evaluated from the mechanical, dynamic mechanical properties and reprocessibility.

Organically modified layered double hydroxide (OM-LDH) was synthesized via anion exchange reaction and potassium monolauryl phosphate (MAPK) was used as an intercalator. The OM-LDH nanofillers were embedded into low-density polyethylene/ethylene–vinyl acetate (LDPE/EVA) via melt blending process which provided LDPE/EVA/OM-LDH nanocomposites. The structure and properties of the fabricated samples were characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction techniques, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and tensile testing. The results showed that the organic anion was intercalated into the interlayer region of LDH and enlarged the interlayer distance. The TGA results of the nanocomposites showed significantly improved thermal stability at a higher temperature when containing 6 wt% OM-LDH due to the good dispersion of OM-LDH in the matrix. The DSC data indicated that the degree of crystallinity was increased obviously due to the incorporation of OM-LDH in the matrix. The formation of organic side chains on the OM-LDH surface also contributed to an improvement in the interfacial adhesion, resulting in enhanced tensile strength and elongation at break compared with LDH.
