This review covers significant properties and applications of nanoclays in polymer-based
nanocomposites with special emphasis on future potential. Various strategies have been …

The effect of organoclay on the mechanical and thermal properties of woven carbon fiber
(CF)/compatibilized polypropylene (PPc) composites is investigated. Polypropylene …

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 …

Sodium montmorillonite was modified with a new polymeric surfactant. The high molecular
weight of the surfactant appears to have led to incomplete cation exchange of the clays, but …

Polypropylene/E-glass fiber/nanoclay were compounded with a twin-screw extruder and
injection molded. Thermal, dynamic mechanical, and impact tests were carried out …

Nanocomposites polypropylene (PP) with 3 and 7 wt% of clay were prepared by melt mixing.
Four types of maleic anhydride grafted PP (MAPP) in broad range of MA groups content (0.3 …

Background In the fabrication of polymer/clay nanocomposites, the compatibilizer plays a
vital role in altering the properties of nanocomposite systems. The present work primarily …

The morphology and rheological and mechanical properties of nanoclay‐reinforced
polypropylene nanocomposites were investigated with aid of transmission electron …

The effect of un-modified and several organo-modified montmorillonites on the morphology,
mechanical properties and thermal behavior of polycaprolactone (PCL) based …

We have prepared the intercalated nanocomposites of polypropylene (PP)/clay (PPCNs)
successfully using maleic anhydride modified PP (PP-MA) and organophilic clay via melt …
