Abstract:The present study examines the effect of nanoalumina on the mechanical and thermal properties of
glass fiber and elastomer reinforced PP/EPDM/GF/Al2O3 with an aim to develop suitable composite
material for orthotics. In present study, PP/GF, PP/EPDM/GF composite and PP/EPDM/GF/Al2O3
nanocomposites with specific composition were fabricated using melt-blending technique. Prepared
composites were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD),
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) an… Show more
