Non-isothermal crystallization behavior, rheological properties and morphology of poly(ε-caprolactone)/graphene oxide nanosheets composite films

摘要

Highlights?Non-isothermal crystallization behavior of PCL/GO films was investigated.?The loading of GO increased the Tcof PCL matrix at a constant cooling rate.?Crystallization kinetics of films was characterized by Jeziorny, Ozawa and Mo equations.?Rheology of PCL/GO blends exhibited a transition of liquid to solid-like property.?The peak height of the AFM confirmed the doping of GO into the PCL matrix.AbstractIn the present study, the non-isothermal crystallization behavior of solution cast poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite (PCL/GO) films was investigated at a different cooling rate. The loading concentration of GO (0.25–1% w/w) increased the crystallization temperature (Tc) of PCL matrix at a constant cooling
