Foaming Behaviour, Structure, and Properties of Polypropylene Nanocomposites Foams

This work presents the preparation and characterization of compression-moulded montmorillonite and carbon nanofibrepolypropylene foams. The influence of these nanofillers on the foaming behaviour was analyzed in terms of the foaming parameters and final cellular structure and morphology of the foams. Both nanofillers induced the formation of a more isometric-like cellular structure in the foams...

Polypropylene Nanocomposites

Imagine an industrialist and his design team relatively aware of the developments in the research with nano-fillers asking themselves: What can we do with nano-composites and make a net profit up to the ‘promises’ of the current state of the art? Research announced potential areas of interest for practical applications include mechanical performance, toughness improvement, surface hardening, fi...

Synthesis and Characterization of Recycled Isotactic Polypropylene Nanocomposites Containing Date Wood Fiber

Nanocomposites of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and date wood fiber were prepared after modification of the host matrix by reactive extrusion grafting of maleic anhydride. Chemical and mechanical treatment of date wood flour (WF) was conducted to obtain nanocrystalline cellulose. Layered silicates (clay) were partially intercalated with date wood fiber, and the modified layered silicate was use...
