96. Suwanprateeb [50] studied the properties of UHMWPE/HDPE blends and ternary composites (UHMWPE/HDPE blends with calcium carbonate). Using HDPE grade 7000F provided by Bangkok Polyethylene Co., Ltd. and processing by twin-screw extrusion, he reported modest increases in notched Izod impact strength from ∼70 J/m (for the neat HDPE) to ∼75 J/m and ∼100 J/m for UHMWPE/HDPE blends that contained 3 and 13 wt% UHMWPE, respectively[50]. However, the HDPE grade 7000F that was used is listed by Bangkok Polyethylene Co., Ltd. (now a subsidiary of PTT Chemical Public Company Limited) as having a notched Izod impact strength of 30 kg cm/cm (i.e., ∼300 J/m) (see PTT Chemical Public Co. Ltd., HD7000F Technical Data Sheet http://www.innoplus.in.th/document/TechnicalDatasheet/TECH-31.pdf (accessed May 8, 2014)). The vast incongruity between these notched Izod impact strength values (both according to ASTM D256) renders the data reported by Suwanprateeb [50] questionable. Nonetheless, the notched Izod impact strength we report in this study for SSSP-10% is greater than that reported by Suwanprateeb [50] for an UHMWPE/HDPE blend with 13 wt% UHMWPE.
