New types of compatibilizers based on functionalized polypropylene (PP) were synthesized by radical melt grafting either with monomethyl itaconate or dimethyl itaconate. The effect of these new modified PP compounds were ...

Polypropylene (PP) was functionalized in solution by grafting with monomethyl itaconate (MMI) by using xylene and decalin as solvents and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-buthylperoxy)hexane (Lup. 101) as radical initiator. The ...

Nanocomposites of polypropylene and organophilic clay are produced by in situ functionalization of PP with n-butyl acrylate(BA) during melt mixing. Three strategies for incorporating materials into the mixer are analyzed ...

The effect of the filler content and size, as well as accelerated aging on the mechanical properties of polypropylene composites reinforced with woodflour (WF/PP) were evaluated. The composites were prepared by the extrusion ...

New types of compatibilizers based on functionalized polypropylene (PP) were synthesized by radical melt grafting either with monomethyl itaconate or dimethyl itaconate. The effect of these new modified PP compounds were ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are functionalized with itaconic acid (IA) and its derivative, monomethylitaconate (MMI), to prepare CNT/isotactic polypropylene (PP) composites. To promote dispersion and improved ...

Polypropylene (pp) was functionalized in the melt phase by grafting with itaconic acid derivatives. 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-buthylperoxy) hexane (lupersol 101) was used as radical initiator. A Brabender Plasticorder was ...

This work proposes the surface chemical modification of polypropylene films (PP) by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as the graft monomer. At a later stage, the epoxy groups of ...
