Abstract:
HDPE-based nanocomposite fibers have been extruded from a melt and drawn up to draw ratio DR = 8. Two kinds of carbon nanodiscs (original ones and those exposed to additional annealing) have been used as fillers. Obtained nanocomposite fibers have been investigated with the help of different experimental methods: rheology, SEM and WAXS. It has been demonstrated that the annealed carbon nanodiscs possess a nucleation ability that finally leads to strong transformation of the material morphology.
