Abstract
AbstractDifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to investigate the crystallization behavior of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) filled PEO systems under non-isothermal experimental conditions. The dispersion and distribution of CNF of the composites were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Studies showed the uniform segregation of CNFs in PEO. Different crystallization kinetic models (the modified Avrami equation and the combined approach of Avrami and Ozawa) were used to study the dependence of crystal nucleation on the filler content. Analysis showed that inclusion of CNF to PEO retards the crystallization of PEO at all CNF loading under study
