ABSTRACT:
Ethylene polymer composites and concentrates utilized for their preparation are provided. The composites of the invention have increased melt strength compared to the base resin and other improved physical characteristics. The composites contain an organically modified clay and may also contain a compatibilizng agent, depending on the base resin used.
