Can nanoparticles really enhance thermal stability of polymers? Part I: An overview on thermal decomposition of addition polymers (2011, background): “However, the addition of such modifiers as well as PE copolymers can change also thermal degradation of polyethylene [36,37].”
Intercalated linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/clay nanocomposites prepared with oxidized polyethylene as a new type compatibilizer: Structural, mechanical and barrier properties (2007, background): “M A C lammonium cations between the clay layers is first caused by decomposition by Hoffmann elimination reactions which was previously reported in detail for other nanocomposites as well [46–48] and its decomposition products catalyze the degradation of the polymer matrix.”
