Abstract: | Polypropylene(PP)/MgAl layered double hydroxide(MgAl LDH) nanocomposites were synthesized by refluxing PP and dodecyl sulfate-intercalated MgAl LDHMgAl(DS)] in non-polar xylene. Their structure, thermal and crystallization properties were studied via X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), and polarized light microscopy(PLM). The nanoscaled dispersion of MgAl(DS) nanolayeres in the PP matrix was verified by the ... |
