Thermal fractionation (SSA) of the HDPE/grapheme nanocomposite and their relationship with crystalline domains

In this work it was prepared nanocomposites of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)/graphene nanosheets by melt and solution intercalation in concentrations of 0.5 % wt and 1.0 % wt. Thermal fractionation by Successive Self-nucleation Annealing (SSA) technique was applied by means of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). This procedure allowed evaluating the distribution of short chains branching and lamellar thickness in crystalline regions,...
