Crystallization Energetics and Regime Transitions in Graphene-Reinforced Polyethylene/Oligomeric Oxidized Polyethylene Blends: A Lauritzen- Hoffman Analysis
This study demonstrates that synergistic blending of linear low-density polyethylene with oligomeric oxidized polyethylene and thermally reduced graphene nanosheets accelerates crystallization kinetics and induces a transition from Regime III to Regime I, where graphene acts as a dual-action agent that enhances nucleation at low loadings while imposing confinement effects at higher concentrations to lower the energetic barrier for molecular folding.
