Flow induced crystallization of LDPE nanocomposites

Despite of the large amount of information and data on the solidification of polyolefines during processing, FIC behaviour in nanocomposites has received so far little attention. In this context, our study has been aimed to investigate, by means of in-situ Rheo-SALS technique, the role both of nanoclay and shear conditions on the final morphology of polymeric material and on solidification rate.
