“…The mentioned nucleating agents consist of inorganic fillers (e.g., TiO 2, 6 silica, 7 BaSO 4, 8,9 carbon nanotubes, [10][11][12] graphene, 13 clay, 14 silicon nitride, 15 calcium carbonate, 16 and phosphate glass). 17 To be specific, multi-scale silica has been employed to prepare PET composites. However, it is reported that for considerable defects on the surface of the lower-scale untreated silica, it is easy to cause agglomeration via hydrogen bonds attraction.…”
