Abstract
The effect of nanoclay on the short-term flexural creep behavior of polypropylene/wood flour composites was investigated. The results obtained showed that the flexural strength and modulus increased with contentt of nanoclay up to 3 phc and then decreased. The fractional deflection and relative creep decreased with increasing content of nanoclay. X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the nanocomposites formed were intercalated. Morphological findings testified that the samples containing 3 phc of nanoclay had the highest degree of intercalation and dispersion.
