Waste masks pose a serious threat to the environment, including marine plastic pollution
and soil pollution risks caused by landfills since the outbreak of COVID-19. Currently …

The importance and possibilities to modify the morphology by mixing and dispersing is often
neglected or underestimated. This Review works out the different opportunities in slurry …

Three different industrially available multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) materials were
directly incorporated into polycarbonate by melt mixing using a small-scale compounder …

Melt processing of thermoplastic-based nanocomposites is the favoured route to produce
electrically conductive or electrostatic dissipative polymer composites containing carbon …

Dispersion of primary nanotube agglomerates in polymer melts is one of the difficult tasks
when applying melt mixing for nanocomposite preparation. Hence, there is a need for a …

The ability to control the dispersion state of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in polymer matrices is
closely related to the electrical tunability of polymer-CNT nanocomposites. In this study, the …

Abstract Polypropylene (PP)/organoclay (Cloisite© 20A) nanocomposites are prepared via
direct melt intercalation in a co‐rotating twin screw extruder. Maleic anhydride (MA)‐grafted …

The ultrasonic dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) suspensions was
assessed by studying the differential sedimentation of the particles in an acid anhydride …

Publisher Summary Mixing and dispersion of viscous fluids—blending in the polymer
processing literature—is the result of complex interaction between flow and events occurring …

Direct melt mixing in a twin screw extruder is a simple and classical technique for preparing
nanocomposites by dispersing organoclay in a thermoplastic matrix. In this paper, we focus …
