Abstract
A two-step process was used to prepare PP/MAPP/C15A/MWNT ternary nanocomposites system. The effect of the addition of MWNT on the delamination of clay layers in the polymer matrix has been studied through XRD. The similar crystallinity level was noticed after the addition of clay and MWNT together in the PP matrix through XRD. Higher mechanical properties of the ternary nanocomposites system were noticed than neat PP and its binary nanocomposites systems. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) technique was utilized to investigate the effect of both nanofillers on crystallization temperature (). And a shift in towards higher temperature was noticed in all the nanocomposites. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed an improved thermal stability of the ternary nanocomposites system. The dynamic mechanical response of PP and its binary and ternary nanocomposite systems was evaluated. The dispersion of the nanoparticles was investigated employing transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The combined effect of clay and MWNT on the properties of PP was investigated and summarized.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design is a reputable journal published by Zhejiang University Press Co., Ltd. It was founded in December, 1994 as the first internationally cooperative journal in the area of engineering design research. Administrated by the Ministry of Education of China, it is sponsored by both Zhejiang University and Chinese Society of Mechanical Engineering. Zhejiang University Press Co., Ltd. is fully responsible for its bimonthly domestic and oversea publication. Its page is in A4 size. This journal is devoted to reporting most up-to-date achievements of engineering design researches and therefore, to promote the communications of academic researches and their applications to industry. Achievments of great creativity and practicablity are extraordinarily desirable. Aiming at supplying designers, developers and researchers of diversified technical artifacts with valuable references, its content covers all aspects of design theory and methodology, as well as its enabling environment, for instance, creative design, concurrent design, conceptual design, intelligent design, web-based design, reverse engineering design, industrial design, design optimization, tribology, design by biological analogy, virtual reality in design, structural analysis and design, design knowledge representation, design knowledge management, design decision-making systems, etc.
