Abstract

This paper presents the development of dynamically cured polymer composites and nanocomposites based on plastomer - PP (polypropylene) and EPDM elastomer (ethylene-propylene-diene-terpolymer) compatibilized and reinforced with nanometric particles-MMT (montmorillonite, chemically modified layered clay) in two stages, by extrusion-granulation and mixing. Nanoparticles increase the thermal resistance of dynamically cured polymer nanocomposites. By means of compatibilization and dynamic curing, elastomer particles - EPDM are more easily dispersed in the mixture. The materials obtained were tested physicomechanically (Melt Flow Index) and morpho-structurally (FT-IR and DSC).
