Hybrid ternary blends comprising two polymers and one mineral (nano) filler are
increasingly studied because they are starting to be widely used to respond to industrial …

Recently, polymer nanocomposites reinforced with lower volume fraction of nanoceramics
and carbon nanotubes have attracted steadily growing interest due to their peculiar and …

It is realized that the addition of a small percentage of rigid nanoparticles to polymers
significantly improves many of their mechanical properties, especially stiffness and strength …

This work studies the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters influencing the localization of
micro-and nano-silica particles in multiphase mixtures of poly (lactic acid),(PLA), and poly …

This article critically reviews the detailed fundamental understanding of the influence of
conductive nanoparticle migration on the localization, and hence, electrical conductivity of …

Various parameters of a melt blending processing including the extruders' type, processing
conditions (barrel temperature, screw speed and screw configuration), shear rate, residence …

Rubber toughened polypropylene nanocomposites using two types of modified
montmorillonite (organoclay) were explored with the objective of achieving an improved …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) can be toughened by flexible poly (butylene adipate-co-
terephthalate)(PBAT) at the cost of a certain degree of strength and modulus loss. In an …

The rubber toughening of nylon 6 nanocomposites prepared from an organoclay was
examined as a means of balancing stiffness/strength versus toughness/ductility. Nine …

Polymer nanocomposites can exhibit superior multi-functional properties if they possess
phase separated morphology at the nanoscale. Despite the huge potential of these …
