Herein, a simple melt-blending method is utilized to disperse of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in polystyrene/polyolefin elastomer (PS/POE) blends. Based on morphological studies, the PS/POE/HNT nanocomposite containing up 3 phr HNTs shows excellent nanofiller dispersion, while those filled with 5 exhibit aggregation. To overcome aggregation issue, polypropylene-grafted-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA)...

The compatibilization of raw bentonite (bent) with a polymer matrix polypropylene (PP) can improve the performance material in terms thermal and mechanical properties. In this study, two kinds untreated bentonite, bentonite-Maghnia (bent-m) bentonite-Mostaganem (bent-M), that differ proportion Al2O3 particle size distribution were coupled to typical maleic anhydride grafted PP-MA. Stearic Acid ...

The paper reports the results of studying the kinetics of DGEBA reactions with maleic anhydride catalyzed by N, N-dimethyl aniline (DMA). This stuffs are used as photoelastic model materials. The origination of monoester was studied separately on a model reaction of maleic anhydride with isopropyl alcohol. The subsequent reaction of epoxy groups with monoester was examined on a system of epoxy ...

Polymer nanocomposites are new classes of composite materials derived from nanoparticles with at least one dimension in the nanometric range. Polypropylene nanocomposites have attracted a considerable interest due to its most widely used and fastest growing classes of thermoplastic polymer with low cost and low density. However, a problem associated with polypropylene is its dyeability. There h...

The growing interest in using recycled and natural materials the application of new composites recent years implies ecological, economic versatility benefits. Wood plastic composite (WPC) are considered very attractive materials, as they allow use polymers or virgin origin, associated with forestry by-products. present work aims to investigate influence on mechanical, thermal morphological resi...

Aprocedure for the production of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced poly(vinylidine difluoride) (PVDF) powders has been developed. These powders are versatile precursors for a range of nanocomposite materials. The morphology of the CNT/PVDF powder can be related to the interaction between filler and matrix, which depends on the degree of modification of the polymer with grafted maleic anhydride (...
