Mechanical properties of high density polyethylene/carbon nanotube composites

Influence of intercalation methods in properties of Clay and carbon nanotube and high density polyethylene nanocomposites

“…The higher increased was in the PENC30Bs. Some authors [29][30][31] observed that crystallinity of HDPE increases with an addition of carbon nanotubes, and Kanagaraj et al 29 suggested that nanotubes not only nucleate polymer crystallization, but can also be used to propagate the crystallization for a large distance from their surface. By melt intercalation, the MWCNT addition leads to a decreased in the crystallinity for both clays.…”

Influence of carbon nanotube–polymeric compatibilizer masterbatches on morphological, thermal, mechanical, and tribological properties of polyethylene

“…Increase in Young's modulus [8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and decrease in elongation at break [8,12,14,[18][19][20] have frequently been reported for CNT-polyethylene nanocomposites.…”

“…Thermal properties such as melting and crystallization temperatures and crystallinity are reported to change slightly or not at all upon CNT addition [8,[15][16][17][18][19]21]. Besides mechanical properties, thermal expansion and tribological behavior of composites are critical factors in many applications.…”

Influence of mixing methods on the properties of high density polyethylene nanocomposites with different carbon nanoparticles

“…Unfortunately it was not possible to determine the glass transition region for our samples since our materials have high degree of crystallinity. Unfortunately in literature it was not possible to find glass transition temperatures for similar nanocomposites in the literature [26][27][28].…”
