Sci. VL - 39 IS - 3 SE - Original Articles DO - 10.22452/mjs.vol39no3.4 UR - http://mjs.um.edu.my/index.php/MJS/article/view/18980 SP - 54-64 AB - <p>In this paper , packaging plastic industrial were prepared with a flexible polymer and an additional weight ratio of &nbsp;nanoZrO<sub>2</sub> .The method cast preparation was used in the preparation of samples and mechanical tests were carried out , including tear resistance , hardness, impact , tensile properties and water permeability . It was found that the improvement in mechanical properties increased weight ratio of ZrO<sub>2</sub> due to this nano particles of the specification of the high quality mechanical, but the water permeability decreases with the increase weight ratio of ZrO<sub>2</sub>. Due to ZrO<sub>2</sub> filled with polymer , an increase of 46% tear resistance , 14.6% hardness , 8.6% impact resistance , and 162% tensile strength (Ts) , 150 %&nbsp; tensile modulus (Tm) . &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> ER -
