Effect of Addition of Hybrid Nanoclay and Nano-Alumina Fillers on the Mechanical and Thermal Performances of Polypropylene Composites

Abstract: In this study, we made an attempt to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene (PP) using clay and alumina fillers. The dispersion of modified clay and alumina fillers in the polymer matrix was improved using (blended with) two different modifiers, maleic anhydride-grafted PP and ethylene-propylene-rubber, along with coupling agent. The effect of different loading levels of clay and alumina, keeping the other compositions constant, on mechanical and thermal properties of the nancomposites … Show more

“…Essential work of fracture enhancements was observed in nanocomposites with lower nanoparticles that also revealed higher tensile improvements. In another work, 26 the mechanical and thermal properties of PP reinforced with nanoclay and nano-alumina were explored. Nanocomposites with 4-wt% clay showed the best mechanical property, while nanocomposites with 4-wt% alumina revealed better thermal properties over the other composition.…”
