Rheological Properties And Characterizatoin Of PP/MWCNT/CIay Hybrid Nanocomposites

In this study,the rheological control for estimation of the degree of clay exfoliation and carbon nanotube dispersion in polypropylene was studied. The nanocomposite hybrids were processed by extrusion processing of the PP/CIay and the PP/MWCNT masterbatches with polypropylene in different proportions to produce three-phase nanocomposite wsith an interesting combination of properties. The rheology method will be used for control of the dispersion quality of the clay nano-layers and carbon nanotubes and their combination in the polypropylene matrix. The degree of nanofiller dispersion in polymer matrices will be determined using experimental data from the low amplitude oscillatorys hear combined with rheological models.
