A study on the effect of mechanical properties and rheologycal behaviour of polyproplene reinforced montmorillonite / Normuhaizah Mohd Zain

This research focused on the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) reinforced montmorillonite (MMT). The aim of this research is to determine the mechanical properties of PP/MMT nanocomposite with different concentration (2 wt%, 4 wt%, 6 wt% , 8 wt% and 10 wt%) of MMT. PP and MMT were mix by u...
