✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The presence of aggregates of CaCO~3~ nanoparticles in an isotactic polypropylene matrix processed by extrusion promotes the apparition of residual stresses. These stresses are removed with a thermal treatment of the composite, but a higher molecular orientation is then produced. The chain orientation inside the sample is nonhomogeneous due to the presence of the aggregates of nanoparticles. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 88: 947–952, 2003
