Abstract

Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, Ahead of Print.
This study presents the fabrication and characterization of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composite films reinforced with either graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) or zirconium oxide (ZrO2) via blown film extrusion with emphasis on their thermal, mechanical, ...
