The effect of compatibilizer (1.6-18.4%), nanoclay (0.6-7.4%) and thickness of film (35-120
μm) on food packaging related properties such as oxygen transmission rate (OTR), water vapor
transmission rate (WVTR), tensile strength and per cent elongation of low density polyethylene
(LDPE)-based nanocomposite films was studied using response surface methodology. XRD
showed 73.5% increase in interlayer distance and SEM/TEM exhibited different types of
dispersion structure of nanoclay in the developed films. A minimum OTR value of 2740 cc/m2/
day/atm, minimum WVTR value of 2.68 g/m2/day and maximum tensile strength value of 10.62
MPa was recorded in the optimally developed nanocomposite films. Treatment having 5%
compatibilizer, 2% nanoclay and 100μm thickness of nanocomposite films showed uniform
distribution of silicate platelets in the polymer matrix, better barrier and strength characteristics
than other treatments.
