The melf-direct intercalation method was employed to prepare rubber toughened polypropylene nanocomposites (RTPPNC). The blends composition was kept constant (PP+organocloly 6wt%) while the polyethylene octane (POE) content was varied between 0 and 20w% .Maleated PP (PP-g-MAH) was used as compatibil...
