Thermoplastic-olefin (TPO) Nanocomposites

摘要

MMT particles are effective for decreasing dispersed phase particle size. MMT increases stiffness and strength of blend TPO nanocomposites along with toughness. Morphological analysis: Level of MMT exfoliation increases as the masterbatch ratio increases. Aspect ratio of the elastomer particles increases as the masterbatch ratio increases. Good correlation observed between morphology of elastomer particles and toughness Toughness can be controlled by increasing viscosity of PP or elastomer. "Super-tough" blend TPO maintains toughness even in the presence of MMT.
