Influence of Mechanoactivation of Graphite Nanoparticles on Electrical Conductivity and Physical and Mechanical Properties of Multifunctional Nanocomposites Based on Copolymers of Ethylene with α-Olefins

This paper presents the results of a study examining the effects of mechanical activation of graphite nanoparticles and heat treatment of nanocomposites on their key physicomechanical and physicochemical properties. Polyolefins such as ethylene/hexene copolymer, ethylene/butene copolymer, ethylene/propylene random copolymer, and ethylene/propylene block copolymer have been used. The objective of the study was to explore the feasibility of producing multifunctional nanocomposites based on these materials that exhibit electrical conductivity, wear resistance, strength, and satisfactory melt flowability for processing by injection molding and extrusion methods.
