Glass fiber and nanoclay reinforced polypropylene composites: morphological, thermal and mechanical properties

Hybrid composites of polypropylene (PP)/nanoclay (NC)/glass fiber (GF) were prepared by extrusion and injection molding. Molded specimens were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile and flexural tests. TEM results revealed NC particle intercalat...
