Nucleation and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics in cross-linked polyethylene/zinc oxide nanocomposites

In the present study organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) with 0, 2, 5 and 10 wt% of trimethoxyoctyl- silane surface treated ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by melt mixing. Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics is examined in detail to reveal the crystallizat...
