Mechanical properties of α-Al2O3/PP nano composite

This study has focused on the effect of nano particle α-alumina on the mechanical properties of polypropylene composite was studied. The nano composites containing 1-5 wt.% of α-alumina nano particles were prepared by using a Haake internal mixer. Mixing was performed at 170°C and 30 rpm was set for...
