Polypropylene-clay nanocomposites: effects of incorporating short chain amide molecules on rheological and mechanical properties

The influence of low molecular weight additives containing polar groups and modified polyolefin-based compatibilisers on polypropylene (PP)-clay nanocomposites (PPCN) has been studied, in terms of intercalation and degree of exfoliation achievable by melt state mixing processes. PPCN were prepared b...
