Effect of Nano-Calcium Carbonate on the Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene

Abstract

The task of the polymer physics experiment course is using a certain percentage of nanocalcium carbonate (CaCO3) to composite polypropylene (PP) and using a twin-screw injection molding machine to inject the compound above into a standard sample. After that some mechanical properties test were made to get some nanocalcium carbonate data which may affect the mechanical properties of polypropylene.
