In this paper, the effect of unmodified halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) content on the chemical structure and the thermal and mechanical properties of blends based on starch-grafted-polyethylene (SgP) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) (70/30 w/w) nanocomposites was investigated at various filler content ratios, i.e. 1.5, 3 and 5 wt.%. The study showed the occurrence of chemical interactions between the polymer matrix and HNTs through OH bonding. Further, the addition of HNTs to the polymer blend led to an increase in the crystallization temperature of the nanocomposite samples, in particular at higher filler contents i.e. 3 and 5 wt.%, while the melting temperature remained almost unchanged. Tensile and flexural properties of the nanocomposite samples were however improved compared to the virgin blend with respect to the HNTs content ratio.
