The crystallinity of uhmwpe composites with novel types of carbon filler

Abstract

Polymer composites with carbon fillers deserve special attention because they have a positive impact on the electrical and mechanical properties of composite materials. Common carbon fillers such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, etc. could be expensive for industrial use. New graphene-like carbon fillers gained from coal pitch coke (CP) and petroleum pitch coke (PET), which could have similar properties to other carbon fillers but at a lower cost are proposed.
