Modification of LDPE with thermoplastics and siloxane additives was sh
own to be accompanied by an increase in strength properties of oriente
d samples by a factor of 1.7 and 1.5, respectively. Independently of t
he chemical structure of the additives used, similar trends in changes
of physicochemical properties of the modified materials were observed
. The experimental data on structural and dynamic parameters allowed t
he conclusion on a predominant effect of supermolecular structure on t
he properties of modified PE.
