Abstract

ABSTRACT: In the present paper, the crystallization behaviors of six different functional Fe3 O4 /ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer nanocomposite adhesives were studied. Crystal structures of the nanocomposite adhesives were characterized by wide-angle X-ray scattering, and the results showed that both functionalized and non-functionalized Fe3 O4 nanoparticles had only a small influence on the crystal structure of EVA. The cystallization kinetics was investigated through differential scanning calorimetry. The Ozawa and Mo methods were applied to analyze the crystallization behaviors, and the nucleating effect was estimated through the Dobreva and Gutzow method. Finally, the crystallization energy barrier was studied by the Kissinger method.
