Natural minerals play a key role in the burgeoning field of mineral-reinforced polymers,
providing an important element in strengthening and toughening the properties of composite …

This paper investigated the reinforcing effects of a hybrid filler, including talc and exfoliated
graphene nanoplatelets (xGnPs), in polypropylene (PP) composites. In order to increase the …

Polylactide (PLA) composites with various talc content were prepared by melt extrusion. The
thermal, dynamic mechanical, tensile and flexural properties, and fracture surface …

The graphene oxide sheets (GOs) reacted with 4, 4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI)
and then stearic acid to form the functionalized graphene sheets (FGs), in order to improve …

It was found in this study that both fillers (mica and wollastonite) trigger an increase in
Young's modulus of elasticity with increasing filler concentration in a HDPE composites …

New layered synthetic nanotalc prepared at a lab-scale by a conventional hydrothermal
process and commercial natural fine talc were used in order to establish a comparative …

This study investigated the effect of graphene oxide nanosheet (GON) size, and initial
temperature (IT) on the mechanical properties (MP), and thermal properties (TP) of …

In the presented work the influence of different 3MgO· 4SiO2· H2O (talc) contents in
polypropylene samples on the structure, hardness, elasticity, and friction of the surface layer …

This article aimed to compare various mechanical properties of epoxy/graphene and
epoxy/halloysite nanocomposites. Graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) and halloysite nanotubes …

The isotactic polypropylene/talc composites with talc stratified distribution were prepared by
a multilayered co-extrusion technology. The talc orientation in polypropylene matrix was …
