Abstract

Study related to Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)/Barium Sulphate (BaSo4) composites were done. Barium
sulphate (BS) was mixed with LDPE at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 wt%. A twin screw extruder was used to mix BaSo4 with
LDPE at 140 0
c and granules were prepared. Specimens of the batches thus made were prepared by injection molding.
Mechanical properties and radiopacity of the samples were studied and compared and it was found that they increase
with the increase in Barium sulphate content.
