The effect of nano, micro and dual scale filler reinforcement on the morphology, mechanical and barrier properties of polypropylene composites

In the current work the reinforcement effect of nano and micro scale fillers separately and in combination (dual scale filler reinforcement) in polypropylene thermoplastic was investigated. The composites was prepared using counter rotating twin screw extruder at a screw speed of 100 rpm and the set temperature profile varying from 150 to 210 °C. The morphological investigations performed by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission...
