N2 - This study presents the optimization of the injection molding process parameters during fabrication of titanium dioxide enriched high density polyethylene (HDPE-TiO2) nanocomposites. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites including yield strength, Young's modulus and elongation were selected as the performance targets. Experimental runs were carried out based on the L4 Taguchi orthogonal array. Operating conditions such as barrel temperature, residence time and injection time were optimized using Grey relational analysis in which the degree of influence of each control factor was determined by the grey relational grade. The optimal process parameters were found 200°C - 50 min- 20 s on the basis of highest grade.
