Abstract
Nanocomposite films have been prepared by melt blending method with the help of twin screw extruder using polymer polypropylene(PP)nucleating agent like organically modified nanoclay at optimum loading condition. Compatibilizers such as polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH) were used for better compatibility between polymer matrix and filler. The effect of organoclay on nucleation effect and subsequent incremental values in mechanical and thermal behavior of different nanocomposite films has been investigated and explained with justifications. The tensile properties have shown to be improved in presence of clay nanoparticles due to resistance exerted by clay layers against plastic deformation of the polymer. Thermal properties measured by differential scanning calorimeter shows increased crystallization temperature of the nanocomposites in presence of clay particles and compatibilizer of optimum concentration.
