Abstract:Two types of polyethylenes, the crosslinked high‐density polyethylene (PEX) and the short‐chain branched medium‐density polyethylene (polyethylene of raised temperature resistance [PE‐RT]), are selected as matrices for graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) nanocomposites preparation (PEX/GNPs, PE‐RT/GNPs). The melt‐mixing technique is used to synthesize the nanocomposites containing various loadings of GNPs. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is employed to study the effect of the GNPs on the melting and crystall… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
