Polypropylene (PP)/organoclay nanocomposites (PPNC) were prepared using a twice direct
compounding method in a twin screw extrusion process. Three grades of PP with different …

In this work, polypropylene/clay nanocomposites with 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 wt% of montmorillonite
(MMT)(unmodified clay) were prepared by intensive mixing at 50 rpm and 10 min of mixing …

In this study, polypropylene (PP)/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared by melt-
compounding PP with three levels of clay loading (3, 5 and 7 wt%), using two different …

The effects of clays as nanoscale fillers have been rarely addressed. Influence of the amount
of organoclay (ranging between 1 and 10 wt.%) on the nanocomposites structure, ie …

Nanocomposites have attracted a great deal of interest during recent years. Much research
has been conducted towards the incorporation of clay particles in a polypropylene matrix …

The properties of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites are dependent on the quaternary
ammonium salt in the montmorillonite (MMT). A nanocomposite with C-15A, which has a …

The compatibilization effects provided by amine functionalized polypropylenes versus those
of a maleated polypropylene, PP-g-MA, for forming polypropylene-based nanocomposites …

Abstract Polypropylene/Ethylene–Propylene–Diene–Monomer (PP/EPDM) blends are well
known for having a combination of favourable mechanical properties. In this paper, addition …

Compatibilized and non-compatibilized blends of polypropylene (PP) and poly (lactic
acid)(PLA) with various compositions containing nanoclay particles were prepared by one …

In this work, the effects of nanoclay (1–4 wt%) and coupling agent (2 and 4 wt%) loading on
the physical and mechanical properties of nanocomposites are investigated. Composites …
