Abstract:In this study, a comparative study of nanocomposites with treated and untreated metal oxide nanoparticules using a plastograph was investigated. Stearic acid and co-mixing technique were chosen as a fast technique to ensure the dispersion of the filler into the polymeric matrix. Fillers were mechanically treated and co-mixed with stearic acid using kitchen coffee grinder and the mixture was then added to the polymeric matrix in a Brabender plastograph with various contents of 0.5 wt. %, 1 wt. % and 2 wt. %.
