Thermal kinetics of montmorillonite nanoclay (MMT)/maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene (MAH-PP) composites (PPCNs) is reported here in terms of thermal stability, decomposition, and crystallization kinetics. The effects of MMT nanoclay on the thermal stability of PP in MMT/MAH-PP composites have...
