In this work, high density polyethylene (HDPE)/organo-clay (Cloisite® 15A) nanocomposites were prepared by melt processing using a commercially available oxidized polyethylene/oxidized (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) copolymer blend (30:70 wt%) (AC® 645 supplied from Honeywell) as compatibilizer. Clay and compatibilizer amounts were varied to optimize clay dispersion and property enhancement. Clay dispersion was investigated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method). Viscoelastic behavior of the nanocomposites was analyzed by a dynamic oscillatory rheometer in melt state. Oxygen permeability properties of the film samples, prepared by means of a hot compression, were tested with a gas permeability tester working by the constant volume/variable pressure method.
