Abstract:Nanocomposites based on polymer-clay mixtures are a growing area of interest due to their potential in flexible applications. In this study, new nanocomposite materials were produced from the components of recycled thermoplastic as the matrix and montmorillonite as the filler by using a co-rotating twin screw extruder. During this study, recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate), rPET, was mixed with organically modified quaternary alkyl ammonium montmorillonite in the contents of 1, 2, and 5 weight %. Three types… Show more
