The paper presents the results of a study of the dilatometric properties of thermoplastic elastomer nanocomposites based on mixtures of random polypropylene, nitrile butadiene rubber, a compatibilizer - copolymer of polypropylene with maleic anhydride. Nanosized bentonite particles were used as a filler. The concentration of bentonite nanoparticles was varied in the range of 1.0-20 wt %. The values of the free and occupied specific volumes of nanocomposites were determined depending on the temperature and concentration of bentonite. The mechanism and kinetic regularities of the crystallization process of nanocomposites are established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
