Essential work of fracture and failure mechanisms of polypropylene–clay nanocomposites

Essential work of fracture and failure mechanisms of polypropylene–clay nanocomposites

The fracture behavior of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) based on a polypropylene with organo-modified clays (2 wt.%) and different coupling agents was studied by means of essential work of fracture (EWF). The PNC microstructure was characterized by clay particle dispersion at the micron scale (>1...

Zusammenfassung:The fracture behavior of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) based on a polypropylene with organo-modified clays (2 wt.%) and different coupling agents was studied by means of essential work of fracture (EWF). The PNC microstructure was characterized by clay particle dispersion at the micron scale (>1 μm) and sub-micron scale (200 nm to 1 μm), with good intercalation and partial exfoliation (
