The characteristics of all heterogeneous polymer systems including composites containing
either micro or nanofillers are determined by four factors: component properties …

The fracture behaviour of polymers is strongly affected by the addition of rigid particles.
Several features of the particles have a decisive influence on the values of the fracture …

In this work, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), a new type of inexpensive filler, were used for the
modification of polypropylene (PP). HNTs were first surface treated by methyl, tallow, bis-2 …

In the present study, the effect of dynamic vulcanization, mixing sequence, and cellulose
nanocrystal (CNC) content on mechanical, rheological, and thermal properties of the …

Polypropylene/jute fiber (PP‐J) composites with various concentrations of viscose fibers (VF)
as impact modifiers and maleated polypropylene (MAPP) as a compatibilizer have been …

In this study, the effect of micron-and submicron-sized talc particles on the mechanical and
rheological properties of reactor-made thermoplastic polyolefin (rTPO) is investigated. Using …

Polypropylene (PP) has the most extensive plastics of plastics because of the advantages of
simplicity, easy processing, high mechanical properties, high corrosion resistance and …

The effect of filler types of mica and talc on the oscillatory shear rheological properties,
mechanical performance, and morphology of the chemically coupled polypropylene …

The characteristics of particulate filled thermoplastics are determined by four factors:
component properties, composition, structure and interfacial interactions. The most important …

Polypropylene and calcium carbonate were prepared by melt extrusion in a twin screw
extruder or casting in a kneader extruder. The dispersion of CaCO 3 particles in PP was …
