Effect of Nucleating Fillers on the Structure and Properties of Polypropylene Blends

摘要

The effect of three different fillers on the structure and properties of polypropylene blends were investigated. The β nucleating agent can successfully induce β crystal in modified iPP blends and the turning point of the properties appears at the content of 0.5 wt%. For the properties of carbon nanotube modified iPP blends, there is no turning point because of its dominant α-crystalline morphology. The β NA supported carbon nanotube shows better induction ability than the single β NA or single carbon nanotube, there is also a turning point existing at the content of 0.5 wt%.View full textDownload full textKeywordsβ nucleating agent, Carbon nanotube, Crystallization behaviour, Dynamic mechanical properties, Rheological propertiesRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03602559.2012.679381
