Rheology, Mechanical Properties, and Thermal Stability of Maleated Polyethylene Filled with Nanoclays

Figure 5

Effect of nanoclay loading and type on the oxidative degradation temperature of MAPE matrix. The 20% weight loss data were defined as temperature where 20% of the initial mass of the sample disappeared and similarly for other curves. Filled symbols were for C15A nanoclay type, whereas unfilled symbols were for C30B nanoclay type.
