In this paper, the polypropylene (PP)nanocomposites containing 1, 3 and 5 wt % of nanoclay particles are prepared via direct melt mixing in the presence of maleic anhydride grafted PP (PP-g-MA) as compatibilizing agent. PP-g-MA is known to facilitate the dispersion of clay particles in a nonpolar PP matrix and to increase the adhesion between PP and the clay particles.The effect of different nanoclay...
In this paper, Polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites are prepared by melt mixing in a twin-screw extruder by injection molding. The role of compatibilizing agent is performed by maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MA) between nanoclay and PP. The effect of nanoclay particles (1, 3, 5 wt %) on the PP composites is investigated for tensile test at high temperature for the first time. Mechanical...
In this paper, a comparative study on the tensile properties of clay reinforced polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites (PPCN) and chopped basalt fiber reinforced PP–clay nanocomposites (PPCN-B) is presented. PP matrix are filled with 1, 3 and 5 wt.% of nanoclays. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, Young’s modulus and toughness are measured at various temperature conditions. The thermal conditions...
Polymer–clay nanocomposites are a new class of materials which improve the properties at low levels of addition of nanoclay as compared with conventional filler composites. In this article, a comparative study on the mechanical behavior of nanoclay filled polypropylene composites at both room and cryogenic temperatures is presented. Nanoclays of 1–5% by weight are added to polypropylene matrix using...
In this article, the polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites containing nanoclay particles and basalt fiber (BF) are prepared in the presence of maleic anhydride grafted PP (PP-g-MA) as compatibilizing agent. The Charpy impact behavior of PP/PP-g-MA/clay nanocomposites and PP/PP-g-MA/Clay/BF nanocomposites at room temperature (25°C), cryogenic temperature (–196°C), and high temperature (120°C) is presented...
This paper focuses on the influence of temperature conditions and the clay contents on enhancement of mechanical characterization of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were prepared using the melt mixing technique in a co-rotating intermeshing twin screw extruder followed by injection moulding. Nanocomposites properties such as impact strength and ultimate tensile strength, yield...
