“…The reaction of two or more thermally distinct phases leads to an individual response that may not be indicative of a property of the composite sample. 30 Here, the use of the x-ray diffraction (XRD) technique solves the problem of obtaining the crystallinity value, but with special care to minimize the fitting error. This technique is currently used for the special characterization of semi-crystalline HDPE.…”

We have demonstrated the significant impact of high density polyethylene (HDPE) crystallinity and structural morphology on the tensile strength of 60/40 NR/HDPE polymer blend composites. Introducing nanoscale Boron Carbide (B4C‐type compounds) fillers noticeably changed the crystallinity and morphology of HDPE, leading to the formation of fine spherulites. Conversely, microscale fillers mainly impacted the crystallinity while preserving a coarse architecture. Although both composites experienced a reduction in crystallinity, the nanocomposites outperformed microcomposites and even the pristine polymer blend in terms of strength, implying the effect of a fine structure. The nanocomposite with a filler loading of 2 wt% exhibited the highest strength. This investigation provides novel insights into the interplay between crystallinity, HDPE structure, and the size of fillers, which heavily influence the strength of polymer blend composites.
