Abstract:Thermoplastics are widely used advanced materials in various fields as an essential product. The increasing interest in replacing thermosets due to their advanced properties such as high toughness, manufacturing time and processing possibilities. Thermoplastics exhibit poor mechanical properties in several engineering applications; hence the use of nano clay minerals enhances the mechanical property of thermoplastics to be used in many engineering applications. The reinforcing effect of clay minerals (nano-cla… Show more
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.
