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 …

Polymer composites have been widely used in areas of electronics, transportation,
construction and consumer products. They offer attractive combinations of stiffness and …

This study deals with the wear rates and quasi-static mechanical properties of polypropylene
(PP) infused with layered organo-modified montmorillonite nanoclays. Test results show that …

The melt mixing technique was used to prepare various polypropylene (PP)‐based (nano)
composites. Two commercial organoclays (denoted 20A and 30B) served as the fillers for …

Poly ethylene terephthalate (PET)-based nanocomposites containing three differently
modified clays were prepared by melt compounding. The influence of type of modified clay …

Recycled PET/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalation process with
several amounts (1, 3, and 5 wt%) of clay modified with quaternary ammonium salt …

A thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO)/organoclay nanocomposite has been successfully
prepared by using maleic anhydride modified polypropylene as a compatibilizer. The …

This paper presents the results of a current study concerned with the mechanical properties
of a polypropylene binder resin, enhanced by nanoclay filler. The study was centred on the …

The present article reports the mechanical, thermal and morphological characteristics of
polypropylene—maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene—organically modified MMT (PP …

Combined effects of clay treatment and compatibilizer polymers on the structure and
properties of polypropylene/clay nanocomposites were studied. Dynamic mechanical …
