On the Improved Mechanical Properties of Ball-Milled GNPs Reinforced Short Chain Branched-Polyethylene Nanocomposite: Micromechanical Modeling and Fractography Study

Short-chain branched-Polyethylene (SCB-PE) is commonly utilized in hot and cold piping systems due to its high-temperature resistance. SCB-PE nanocomposites using graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) as a reinforcing filler were synthesized in this work. The effect of the filler’s content and the ball-mill...
