Abstract

Studies on polymer blends are important from both scientific and commercial points of view. Blending of different polymers can result in a material with a wide variety of tailor-made properties. Furthermore, an improvement in properties can be accomplished with ease of processibility of polymers. Blends of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE have been proved to result in material with increased performance characteristics. This work aims at the photooxidative stability of LLDPE/HDPE blend which provides a novel low cost material. The studies have been carried out in different geographc locations ranging in latitude between 18 and 30 degrees. The effect of UV-induced degradation is studied using relevant characterization techniques.
