Polypropylene clay nanocomposite :a study of mechanical properties

Polymer nanocomposites(PNs)is a kind of polymer which fill with the composite with nano size and widely used especially in food packaging,labels,coatings and etc.The properties of Polypropylene can be adjusted by two approaches which is to change its molecule structure by modification of its three b...
