To clarify the effect of Alumina (Al2O3) particles on the crystallization of high density polyethylene (HDPE), HDPE and Al2O3/HDPE composite using compression molding in the amount of Alumina 10 wt% was prepared. The non-isothermal crystallization of Al2O3/HDPE composite and neat HDPE have been studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetery (DSC) at different cooling rates between 1 and 30C=min. The crystallization kinetic was evaluated by a direct fitting of the experimental data to Avrami model. The results of this study showed that the crystallization exotherm became wider and shifted toward a lower temperature range, with an increasing cooling rate.
