A Comparative Study of the Mechanical and Rheological Properties of LDPE Composites with Various Nanocarbon Fillers
摘要
Abstract
Filled composites of low-density polyethylene with nanocarbon fillers, namely, graphite nanoplates and reduced graphene oxide, of various compositions, are obtained in a solid phase under shear deformations in a rotary disperser. A difference in the structure of the obtained nanocomposites is demonstrated using scanning electron microscopy. A comparative study of the mechanical properties, porosity, and rheological behavior of the composites is carried out. It is revealed that the nature of graphene nanofillers and the composition of blends influence the characteristics of the resulting materials.
