Polypropylene Nanocomposites

چکیده
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, fire retardancy, or, solvent and permeability reduction. However there remains the problem of how a company could set up the facility for compounding, and guarantee proper dispersion and minimization of health hazards. One should bear in mind that for industrial dissemination conventional equipments should be used and compounding achieved through in-line mixing of virgin resins and nanoclay master batches. Since the seventies polypropylene has been seen as the wonder engineeringcommodity material with widespread application in numerous technical applications.

However, a problem associated with polypropylene is its dyeability. There h...
متن کاملTailored Nanocomposites of Polypropylene with Layered Silicates
The melt rheological properties of layered silicate nanocomposites with maleic anhydride (MA) functionalized polypropylene are contrasted to those based on ammonium-terminated polypropylene. While the MA functionalized PP based nanocomposites exhibit solid-like linear viscoelastic behavior, consistent with the formation of a long-lived percolated nanoparticle network, the single-end ammonium fu...
