Microstructure and fracture behavior of polypropylene/nanoclay composites

Microstructure and fracture behavior of polypropylene/nanoclay composites

Maleic anhydride modified polypropylene (MAPP) was compounded with commercially available surface modified montmorillonite in a twin screw extruder. Re-compounding ensured the removal of visible tactoids from extrudable while TEM and WAXD techniques showed non-uniform dispersion of clay platelets,...
