| Summary: | Introduction: Polymer reinforced with Carbon Nanotubes and Nanoclay are receiving research
attention for various industrial applications such as automobile interior and exterior accessories, air and
space craft, electronics, civil constructions and fabrications of process vessels Problem Statement:
Current researches have shown that the thermoplastic-clay nanocomposites have failed to live up to the
earlier predictions albeit they have found some niche area of applications. This research work therefore
aimed at studying the effect of carbon nanotube as secondary filler on the mechanical properties of
polypropylene-clay nanocomposite. Approach: Hybrid polypropylene-clay nanocomposite was prepared
in the presence of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as secondary additives using melt intercalation
process. .. |
