✦ Synopsis

In this paper, the effect of two different reinforcements: clay at the nanoscale and glass fibres at the micro-scale, on the mechanical properties of PA/clay and GF/PA/clay are studied. The Halpin-Tsai model is used to predict the modulus of PA/Clay and GF/PA/Clay, both of which are influenced by two factors: reinforcement shape and volume fraction. The relationships between the modulus and reinforcement shape and volume fraction are discussed. Tensile modulus, measured in tensile tests is used to fit the Halpin-Tsai models. The results demonstrate a synergy between the reinforcements at the two different scales.

## 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
