The nucleating ability of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) towards isotactic polypropylene (iPP)
was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) …

Polymer nanocomposites are of interest as they exhibit extraordinary properties compared
with the base polymer. The second phase dispersed in the polymer matrix can be carbon …

Patchy interactions and heterogeneous charge distribution make nanoclay (NC) a promising
biomaterial to interact with different biomolecules, polymers, and biological components …

Since the plastic-based multilayer films applied to food packaging are not recyclable, it is
necessary to develop easily recyclable single materials. Herein, polypropylene (PP)-based …

This study investigates the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of high-
density polyethylene (HDPE) composites reinforced with walnut shell and nano clay. Tensile …

Montmorillonite (MMT) generally has α-nucleating ability for isotactic polypropylene (iPP). A
novel MMT with β-nucleating surface (β-MMT) supported by chemically calcium pimelate …

The effects of stearic acid treatment on the crystallization, morphology, thermal, and
mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/montmorillonite (Mm) nanocomposites were …

The crystallization properties of polypropylene (PP), a widely used polymer in industry, can
be modified to overcome its mechanical limitations. In the current work, we investigated the …

Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) composites with unmodified and modified tetra-needle-shaped
zinc oxide whisker (T-ZnOw) were prepared via melt blending in a twin-screw extruder. The …

Nanocomposites based on isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and titanium dioxide (TiO2)
nanoparticle containing 1–15 vol%(4.6–45.5 wt%) of the nanoparticle were prepared by the …
