Abstract

A nanocomposite can include a polyolefin composition having at least one polyolefin. The polyolefin composition can have a multimodal molecular weight distribution, such as a bimodal molecular weight distribution. The nanocomposite can also include at least 0.001% by weight of nanoparticles, relative to a total weight of the nanocomposite. The nanoparticles can be carbon nanoparticles, silicon nanoparticles, or SiC nanoparticles. The nanocomposite can be prepared by providing the polyolefin composition, providing the nanoparticles, and blending the nanoparticles with the polyolefin composition. Formed articles can include the nanocomposite.
