Nanocomposites from polyethylene and TiO2 with different shape and size were prepared by direct mixing and masterbatch dilution, respectively. The mechanical properties of nanocomposites were determined and discussed in relation to the nanofiller dispersion. Moreover, the morphological aspects of polyethylene with and without nanofiller were revealed by means of SEM and WAXD. A better dispersion of the nanoparticles and increased mechanical properties were observed in the case of the masterbatch method. No important differences in mechanical and morphological characteristics of anatase and rutile containing polyethylene composites were observed, except a higher increase of the elastic modulus in case of anatase-containing composites.
