## 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 Natural fiber‐reinforced nanocomposites based on polypropylene/nanoclay/banana fibers were fabricated by melt mixing in a twin‐screw extruder followed by compression molding in this current study. Maleic anhydride polypropylene copolymer (MA‐g‐PP) was used as a compatibilizer to increas
## Abstract Nanocomposites of polypropylene with organically modified clays were compounded in a twin‐screw extruder by a two‐step melt compounding of three components, i.e., polypropylene, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP__g__MA), and organically modified clay. The effect of PP__g__MA co
Clay -thermoset polyester nanocomposites and conventional clay filled composites are produced using organo-modified clay as the reinforcement and unmodified inorganic clay as filler, respectively. Composites are prepared with clay contents of 1 wt.%, 3 wt.% and 5 wt.%. Tribological property of the n
