In this study, onium‐ion‐added nano‐clay/microcellular polypropylene composites were created using a conventional injection molding machine. A chemical foaming agent was utilized to facilitate mixing. The primary focus was to analyze how altering the nano‐clay (NC) content affects the mechanical characteristics and the properties of the endothermic chemical foaming agent (CFA) added PP/nano‐clay composites. The composites were created using a chemical foaming agent at a weight ratio of 1%wt and nano‐clay at weight ratios of 0, 2.5%wt. and 5%wt. The findings indicated that an increase in the nano‐clay ratio led to higher cell count and cell density, along with a reduction in cell diameter. Additionally, the outcomes demonstrated that the foaming of PP‐nano‐clay composites resulted in decreased modulus of elasticity and tensile strength while enhancing impact strength.This article is protected by copyright.
