Abstract

The synthesized nano calcium phosphate by matrix mediated growth and controlled technique was used as nanofiller in the preparation of polypropylene nanocomposites. Nanocomposites with different filler concentrations were prepared. The content of nano calcium phosphate was varied from 1 to 3 wt% in the preparation of PP nanocomposites. During preparation of nanocomposites shear rate was varied by means of increase in rpm, i.e., 60, 70, 80 and 90 with the help of Brabender Plastograph and the effect of shear rate was studied with respective to mechanical and thermal properties of composites. The comprehensive evaluation of the PP nanocomposites filled with nano calcium phosphate was done to observe the substantial improvement in the performance properties. The mechanical and thermal properties were determined by Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA), respectively. The morphology of the fracture surfaces of the prepared PP nanocomposites filled with nano calcium phosphate was studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
