abstract = "Scattering techniques for determination of structural development in PE nanocomposites has been studied using an in-situ biaxial deformation device. Polyethylene (PE)/clay sheets were prepared using melt mixing and film extrusion techniques. In-situ biaxial deformation behavior of neat PE and PE/6wt% clay sheets were observed at room temperature using wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS). Results indicate the presence of clay improves the toughness of the polymer under biaxial deformation. Under biaxial deformation, it was observed that the diffraction peaks associated with the monoclinic (101) plane increases whilst those for the orthorhombic (200) plane were suppressed.",
