| Abstract: | Summary: In this paper we investigate the influence of various nanofilllers' aspect ratio, chemical nature and organic modification on some selected polypropylene properties, such as crystallinity, thermal and mechanical resistance and fire behaviour. Materials were prepared by twin-screw extrusion and characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, tensile and cone calorimeter tests. Fillers characteristics were found to influence at different extents, and for different reasons, the material final properties. |
