By means of melt blending process in a co-rotating twin screw extruder and blow molding , the low density polyethylene (LDPE)/thermoplastic elastomer(TPE) mixed membranes and LDPE/inorganic particles composite membrane were prepared. by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) to study the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the LDPE composite system by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).Use modified Jeziorny method to process the data ,the results shows that ZMS, SiO2, EVA and EMAA all play a role of heterogeneous nucleation and the crystallization rate of LDPE has been increased,especially the ZMS/LDPE composite system which heterogeneous nucleation is more obvious and crystallization rate is faster.

New poly (δ-valerolactone)/titanium dioxide (PDVL/TiO2) nanocomposites with different TiO2 nanoparticle loadings were prepared by the solvent-casting method and characterized by Fourier transform infra-red, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetry analyses. The results obtained reveal good dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles in the polymer matrix and non-formation of new crystalline structures indicating the stability of the crystallinity of TiO2 in the composite. A significant increase in the degree of crystallinity was observed with increasing TiO2 content. The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the PDVL/TiO2 system indicate that the crystallization process involves the simultaneous occurrence of two- and three-dimensional spherulitic growths. The thermal degradation analysis of this nanocomposite reveals a significant improvement in the thermal stability with increasing TiO2 loading.

In this paper, the isothermal crystallization kinetics of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and iPP with 5% hyperbranched polymer (HBP) added had been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that a small addition of HBP affects the crystallization behavior of iPP. During isothermal crystallization, the crystallization rate of the blend is higher than those of iPP remarkably. An increase in the Avrami exponent may be attributed to the fractal structure of hyperbranched polymer. The crystallization activation energy is estimated by the Friedman equation, the results show that the activation energy decreases remarkably by addition of HBP and the crystallization rate of the blend is more sensitive to temperature than that of iPP.
