## Abstract In this work, polypropylene/clay nanocomposites with 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 wt % of montmorillonite (MMT) (unmodified clay) were prepared by intensive mixing at 50 rpm and 10 min of mixing. For the highest clay content (5 wt %), the initial materials or the processing conditions were changed
## Abstract Full exfoliation of clay/high density polyethylene (HDPE) nanocomposites was successfully achieved with the aid of maleated HDPE (PEβ__g__βMAn), by melt blending in a twinβscrew extruder employing a long residence time configuration. The morphology of the composites was determined using
