Effect of two types of graphene nanoplatelets on the physico-mechanical properties of linear low-density polyethylene composites
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2016 , Article)
The influence of two types of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the physico-mechanical properties of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) was investigated. The addition of these two types of GNPs - designated as grades ...
Optimization and Prediction of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Graphene/LLDPE Nanocomposites by Using Artificial Neural Networks
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2016 , Article)
The focus of this work is to develop the knowledge of prediction of the physical and chemical properties of processed linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/graphene nanoplatelets composites. Composites made from LLDPE ...
