제올라이트 함유 폴리에틸렌 필름의 최대응력, 파단신율 및 인열강도를 측정한 결과 전반적으로 금속이온으로 치환한 제올라이트 필름에 비해 계면활성제로 치환한 제올라이트를 함유한 필름의 물성이 순수 LDPE필름의 물성에 비해 큰 감소 없이 일정하게 유지되는 사실을 확인하였다. 한편 선도유지기능 실험 결과 일부의 양이온성(Al 및 Ag) 또는 계면활성제로 개질된 제올라이트 필름들이 시험된 과채류에 대하여 일반 LDPE 포장용 필름보다 우수한 선도유지기능

Freshness maintenance of polyethylene packaging film containing surface-modified zeolite was investigated depending on the nature of substituted cations and cationic surfactants. Freshness maintenance was designed to work by cation or cationic surfactant adsorbed onto the zeolite surface by ion-exchange method. Cationic surfactants such as DODAB (n-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide), CTAB (n-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide), and DHAB (n-dihexadecyldime-thylammonium bromide), and cations () were used. Surface-modified zeolite powder was compounded with LDPE to produce zeolite masterbatch (M/B), and the M/B was again blended with LDPE to get zeolite-containing LDPE films with 3, 5, of zeolite (width: 40 cm, thickness: ). Mechanical properties of zeolite-containing LDPE films generally decreased with increasing zeolite content. However, cationic surfactant-modified zeolite film showed the better mechanical properties compared to cation-modified zeolite film. As for the freshness maintenance, the zeolite-containing films modified with cationic surfactants or cations () showed the best performance.
