Polypropylene (PP)/ Cloisite® 30B Montmorillonite (MMT) Clay Nanocomposites were prepared using a new PP-Nylon copolymer as a compatibilizer. A 2 step melt-compounding process with a twin-screw extruder was employed in our method. Nanocomposites with 4 weight percent loadings of MMT Clay were prepar...
