LDPE/Gr nanocompounds were studied based on graphene (Gr)-distribution, morphology and crystal structure according to different methods such as, Ramanspectroscopy (RS), XRD, SEM and TEM. Outcomes presented by SEM showed, that the Grs addition was homogeneously distributed in LDPE matrix and the crystallinity of the LDPE/Gr nanocompounds was improved. Inclusion of Grs to LDPE launches crystallization through lowering the energy of activation accompanied by growing crystallization.

The recent progress in nanotechnology has guided to focus the attentions in a special type of materials recognized like polymer nanocompounds, wherein nano-dimension fillers are added to a polymeric structure to develop mechanical and physical characteristics [1,2,3]. Nano-filler is a substantial factor to grow polymer characteristics, and nanocompounds that are usually light with exclusive mechanical and exact practical characteristics [4,5,6].
