Effect of the Kind of Carbon-Based Nanofiller on the Electrical Conductivity and Rheological Melt Behavior of Polypropylene Composites

Garzón C., Palza H., Quijada R., Universidad de Chile, CL

Recent interest in the use of nanoparticles for the manufacture of polymer composites has arisen due to the striking improvements in some properties achieved at lower loadings compared to micrometer fillers. In particular, derivatives of [...]

Rheology, Microstructure, and Property of Polylactide/Clay Nanocomposites Prepared with SC-CO2 by Melt Compounding

Jiang G., Chen Z.K., Huang H.X., South China University of Technology, CN

The rheology, microstructure and mechanical properties of polylactide (PLA)/clay nanocomposites were investigated. The nanocomposites were prepared using a twin screw extruder with and without the aid of supercritical carbon dioxide. Results show that there exists [...]
