Balancing mechanical properties of graphene nanoplatelet filled HDPE
Composites of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) were prepared by melt mixing and the effect of nanoplatelet geometry, (GNP-1, larger lateral size; nominal < 26.5 μm) and GNP-2 (smaller lateral size; nominal < 10 μm) and processing regime on mechanical properties studied. Increasing GNP-1...
