Abstract:The cooling process of isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/organoclay nanocomposites was followed by dynamic rheometry. Contrasting to typical linear increment of log G 0 with decreasing temperature (log G 0 ! 1/ T) occurred on the melts for neat iPP and nanocomposites with small amounts of organoclay, an unusual rheological behavior was identified for composites with relative high organoclay content (!5 wt %) as that: increasing of log G 0 positively deviates to linear relation during cooling within certain high te… 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.
