Optimization of process parameters for the production of polypropylene ternary nanocomposites

Preparation of Polypropylene ternary nanocomposites was accomplished by blending multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in polypropylene/clay binary system using melt intercalation method. The effects of MWCNT loadings (A), melting temperature (B) and mixing speed (C) were investigated and optimized...
