Abstract

Most environmentally friendly polymers are semicrystalline and, therefore, the physical and mechanical properties of these polymers are controlled by the crystallization process. Hence, it is necessary to study the effects of nanofillers on the crystallization behavior, that is, the morphology and kinetics of the environmentally friendly polymer matrices to establish the structure–property relationships in these nanocomposites. This chapter analytically summarizes the effects of nanoparticles in clay or carbon nanotube-containing environmentally friendly nanocomposites on parts of the crystallization process, such as the crystal growth behavior and crystallization kinetics.
