Formation of the three-dimensional (3D) interlinked hybrid shish-kebabs in injection-molded PE/PE-g-CNF composite by “structuring” processing
10.1016/j.compscitech.2018.01.043 2018-01-31 The target of this study is to construct 3D interlinked structure that mimicks the structure of shell by “structuring” processing. Therefore, lightly cross-linked HDPE and PE-g-CNF that aligned along the flow direction by intense shear flow were purposely des... |
