Abstract
Investigating the influence of process parameters is vital to improve the mechanical properties of nanoparticle reinforced polymer nanocomposites. In this effort, nanocomposites of polypropylene/nanoclay are prepared by the extrusion method. In order to characterize the mechanical behavior of nanocomposites over different compounding ratios, samples are prepared with 5 and 10 wt%. Effect of re-extrusion and PP-g-MA compatibilizer on the tensile performance of nanocomposites is evaluated at different strain rates. XRD evaluation of compounds indicated that re-extrusion is an important factor in increasing the exfoliation degree.
