title = "Multilayer coextrusion of polypropylene nanocomposite materials",
abstract = "A multilayer coextrusion die was used to create polypropylene (PP) / organoclay nanocomposites and to study the stress effects on clay dispersion. Nanocomposites contained 5 wt% maleic anhydride grafted PP compatibilizer and 1 - 5 wt% organoclay. Nanocomposite layers were extruded opposite talc filled PS before being separated. Individual PP nanocomposite layers were tested for improvements in mechanical, thermal and barrier properties and were compared to theoretical predictions in order to determine an aspect ratio for the organoclay. Aspect ratios from theory were compared to those measured directly through TEM. A PP nanocomposite / elastomer system was also considered.",
