Abstract
  This study explores the development of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites reinforced with stearic acid-treated expanded perlite (TEP) to examine their thermal, mechanical, and processing properties. The composites were fabricated using a plastograph at 200°C, incorporating perlite concentrations ...  Read More

https://doi.org/10.22063/poj.2016.1375

Abstract
  Despite the great potential of graphene as a nanofiller, achieving homogeneous dispersion remains the key challenge for effectively reinforcing polyolefin (such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP)) nanocomposites. Therefore, in this research, we report a facile combined in situ polymerization ...  Read More
