Layered montmorillonite/polypropylene nanocomposite self-reinforced materials

In this research,PP/organic montmorillonite composites was prepared by melt intercalation method using a mixer,it is used to study how the montmorillonite addition affects on the strengthening and toughening roles of the polypropylene. We also use a new self-enhancement technology to study the effects of adding organic montmorillonite in PP/organic montmorillonite composites.We found that the tensile properties of the PP/organic montmorillonite composites increased 3.2-4.6 times than the original composites after the process of self-reforcing.
