Polypropylene/Montmorillonite Nanocomposites. Review of the Synthetic Routes and Materials Properties
Abstract
The synthetic routes and materials properties of polypropylene/montmorillonite nanocomposites are reviewed. The nanocomposite formation is achieved in two ways: either by using functionalized polypropylenes and common organo-montmorillonites, or by using neat/unmodified polypropylene and a semi-fluorinated organic modification for the silicates. All the hybrids can be formed by solventless melt-intercalation or extrusion, and the resulting polymer/inorganic structures are characterized by a coexistence of intercalated and exfoliated montmorillonite layers. Small additions typically less than 6 wt % of these nanoscale inorganic fillers promote concurrently several of the polypropylene materials properties, including improved tensile characteristics, higher heat deflection temperature, retained optical clarity, high barrier properties, better scratch resistance, and increased flame retardancy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
