Unmodified cornstarch from dent corn was used in this study to determine the effect of twin-screw extrusion conditions on the intrinsic viscosity of this polysaccharide and water. The study focused on the intrinsic viscosity of the cornstarch as a function of the key variables. Primary variables exa

The structure development and mechanical properties of blow extruded polypropylene containing b-phase nucleating additives was studied. Quinacridone red and cadmium red were both found to nucleate the b phase in polypropylene, the former being a much more efficient nucleator than the latter. The b-p
## 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
Polypropylene/wood fiber composites were prepared at three different temperatures: 170ΠC, 180ΠC, and 190ΠC. 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
