Abstract
The kinetics of isothermal crystallization of low density polyethylene (LDPE) filled with silica (Ultrasil) and crosslinked by peroxide was investigated by a DSC method. It is suggested that the addition of high-surface-area silica as a filler results in a significant adsorption of LDPE chains on the filler surface, which plays an important role in the kinetics of isothermal crystallization. The isothermal crystallization of filled and crosslinked LDPE is influenced simultaneously by adsorption, nucleation, retardation and formation of pre-ordered structure.
