The results showed that both tensile strength and modulus increased initially and decreased afterwards as the temperature increased. The peak values of tensile strength and modulus of PE SPCs,which are 10. 8 and 3. 5 times as high as those of the unreinforced LDPE respectively,were obtained at 150 ℃. Higher temperatures also give a positive effect on peel strength. Scanning electron microscopy( SEM) and camera were also used to observe the morphology of the SPCs samples.展开更多
