Abstract The dodecanethiol-modified molybdenum disulfide (OMoS 2 ) was used as template to form a layered OMoS 2 MgCl 2 -supported Ziegler–Natta catalyst via a co-agglomeration method. The effects of OMoS 2 on the catalyst morphology and ethylene polymerization behavior were examined. The resultant polyethylene (PE)/OMoS 2 nanocomposites mirrored the catalyst morphology, and the OMoS 2 fillers were well dispersed in the PE matrix. In addition, the thermal stability and mechanical properties of PE were significantly enhanced by the introduction of very small amounts of OMoS 2 filler. This enhancement resulted from the good dispersion and interface adhesion of OMoS 2 and the PE matrix. Thus, this work proposes a new method for the production of high-performance PE.
