Interfacial effects in nano-silica/polypropylene composites fabricated by in-situ chemical blowing

By mixing macromolecular blowing agent grafted nano-SiO2 with polypropylene (PP) melt, the nanoparticle agglomerates can be pulled apart due to the in-situ bubble-stretching resulting from gasification of the side foaming groups on the grafted polymer. The present work evaluated the interfacial effe...
