Study related to Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)/Barium Sulphate (BaSo4) composites were done. Bariumsulphate (BS) was mixed with LDPE at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 wt%. A twin screw extruder was used to mix BaSo4 withLDPE at 140 0c and granules were prepared. Specimens of the batches thus made were prepared by injection molding.Mechanical properties and radiopacity of the samples were studied and compared and it was found that they increasewith the increase in Barium sulphate content.
