Application of paraffin and silver coated titania nanoparticles in polyethylene nanocomposite food packaging films

In this work, 3% and 5% TiO 2 /Ag nanoparticles were dispersed in low‐density polyethylene through melt blending process, and subsequently nanocomposite films were prepared by hot pressing. Paraffin was used for the first time in this work as compatibilizer agent. The effect of TiO 2 /Ag nanoparticle content, as well as compatibilizer dosage on the antimicrobial, morphological, mechanical, and optical performance of the nanocomposite films was...
