Crystallization of UHMWPE nanocomposites filled by multi-wall carbon nanotubes

In order to study the effect of MWCNTs on the crystallization of UHMWPE, the UHMWPE nanocomposites filled by MWCNTs with high content were prepared by solution method. The non-isothermal and isothermal crystallization of MWCNTs/UHMWPE nanocomposites were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the heterogeneous nucleation of MWCNTs increases the crystallization temperature and crystallinity of...
