## 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 An experimental study was carried out to design polylactide (PLA)โclay nanocomposites for developing fibers. PLA and 1โ10 wt % of a selected organomodified bentonite (Bentoneยฎ 104โB104) were melt mixed to examine the effect of processing conditions (temperature, shear, residence time) o
Polypropylene/wood fiber composites were prepared at three different temperatures: 170ะC, 180ะC, and 190ะC. The surface of wood fibers was modified through the use of silane coupling agents and/or coating with polypropylene or maleated polypropylene. The fiber coating was performed by propylene poly
