Abstract:

This paper presents a review on the preparation, processing, properties and the recent applications of polypropylene-nanoclay nanocomposites. The material has attracted many researchers to explore more about the processing techniques, optimizations, and mainly the potential applications reflecting the advantages of these promising materials. The review consists of preparation of nanocomposites master batch, properties such as mechanical and thermal properties the effects of compatibilizers and clay content, as well as the recent application of these composites. The findings of this review might lead to more curiosity and investigating regarding to the above matters.
