New products and processes for roto-moulded polymer products

This project has proven that liquid polymers can be successfully rotationally moulded at fairly low temperatures (60 °C). It also lead to the development of modified polyethylene using nano-composite particles (clay). It showed significant improvement in mechanical properties that potentially may result in substantial rotational moulding process improvements.
