AB  - In this paper, we investigated theimpact of glassy carbon (GC) reinforcement 
      oncrystal structure and the mechanical performance of high-density polyethylene 
      (HDPE). We made composite samples by mixing HDPE granules with powder in ethanol 
      followed bymelt mixing in a laboratory extruder. Along with the investigated 
      composite, we also prepared samples with carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene (GNP) 
      and graphite (Gr) to compare GC impact with already used carbon fillers. To 
      evaluate crystal structure and crystallinity, we used X-ray diffraction (XRD) and 
      differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We supported the XRD results with a 
      residual stress analysis (RSA) according to the EN15305 standard. Analysis showed 
      that reinforcing with GC leads to significant crystallite size reduction and low 
      residual stress values. We evaluated the mechanical properties of composites with 
      hardness and tensile testing. The addition of glassy carbon results inincreased 
      mechanical strength incomposites with CNT and GNP.
