Low d. polyethylene doped with halloysite nanotubes (diam. 30-70 nm, length 1-3 mu m) in concns. 2-6% by mass as well as without additives was extruded in a single-screw lab. extruder at 50 rpm or 150 rpm. The effect of chem. compn. of obtained materials and rotational speed of the screw on the parameters of the extrusion process was tested. The highest efficiency of the process (over 39.6%) was achieved during extrusion at screw speed of 150 rpm of non-doped polymer. The efficiency slightly decreased to 39.1% with the increase of the nanotube content. The smallest value of unit energy consumption was achieved for the extrusion (at 150 rpm) of a material contg. 2% halloysite. The screw rotating at 50 rpm resulted in a significant redn. in the efficiency of the process as well as in significant increase in the unit energy consumption for the tested materials.
