Impact of Reduced Graphene Oxide on structure and properties of polyethylene rich binary systems for performance-based applications

This study discloses, for the first time, the impact of Graphene Oxide (GO) chemical reduction on structure and performance of a Polyethylene (PE) rich biphasic system, with Polypropylene (PP) representing the morphology tunable micro phase. A 2% weight fraction of the interface modifier Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO), together with a strategic mixing of the components, led to RGO high exfoliation and selective localization at the PE/PP …
