PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF FLEXIBLE PLASTIC PACKAGING USING ACRYLIC POLYMER SOLUTION

Abstract

In this paper , packaging plastic industrial were prepared with a flexible polymer and an additional weight ratio of  nanoZrO₂ .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 ZrO₂ due to this nano particles of the specification of the high quality mechanical, but the water permeability decreases with the increase weight ratio of ZrO₂. Due to ZrO₂ filled with polymer , an increase of 46% tear resistance , 14.6% hardness , 8.6% impact resistance , and 162% tensile strength (Ts) , 150 %  tensile modulus (Tm) .
