Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this research, the mechanical and thermal properties of nanocomposites containing alumina nanoparticles in the high-density polyethylene/recycled polyethylene terephthalate/maleic anhydride polyethylene (HDPE/rPET/MAPE) matrix were investigated. For this purpose, tensile, flexural, impact energy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test were done. Here, 0, 1, 3, and 5 wt% alumina nanoparticles were added to the HDPE/rPET/MAPE using a co-rotating screw extruder. Morphological studies using scanning electron microscopy revealed that alumina nanoparticles within HDPE/rPET/MAPE matrix were well dispersed in low content of nanoparticles (up to 3 wt%). The results of mechanical tests showed that the presence of alumina nanoparticles improved tensile strength, elastic modulus, flexural strength, and impact energy. The maximum improvement was observed for the sample containing 3 wt% of alumina. DSC test revealed alumina nanoparticles in the content of 3 wt% increased the crystallinity degree of HDPE in the blend of HDPE/rPET/MAPE and caused to approach the melting points of HDPE and rPET.
