The effect of calcium carbonate nanofiller on the mechanical properties and crystallisation behaviour of polypropylene
Polypropylene/calcium carbonate (PP/NPCC) nanocomposites were prepared using a co-rotating twin screw extruder at filler loadings of 5, 10 and 15 weight %. The impact strength and modulus of PP showed some improvement with the incorporation of the nanofiller while the tensile strength deteriorated....
