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...

Cellulosic Nanocomposites: a Review

Because of their wide abundance, their renewable and environmentally benign nature, and their outstanding mechanical properties, a great deal of attention has been paid recently to cellulosic nanofibrillar structures as components in nanocomposites. A first major challenge has been to find efficient ways to liberate cellulosic fibrils from different source materials, including wood, agricultura...

Metallocene Based Polyolefin Nanocomposites

One of the most efficient and versatile ways to synthesize polyolefin nanocomposites is the in-situ polymerization of olefins in the presence of nano particles by metallocene catalysts. Metallocene/methylaluminoxane (MAO) catalysts are soluble in hydrocarbons and therefore they can be absorbed perfectly in solution onto the surface of particles or fibers and after addition of ethene or propene ...
