The Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and Atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies were conducted and evaluated on polypropylene/kaolin (P/K) nanocomposite treated with maleic anhydride (MA) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as additives in an in- situ process.  Two-roll mill was used in compounding of the nanocomposites while moulding were done by injection moulding machine. Investigation in to the effect of K and MA/DCP on the nanocomposites (NCs) indicates that interfacial interactions between PP and K as filler was eminent. DMA analysis reveals an increase in the storage modulus which was at maximum significantly in P/K NC with 3 wt% and decrease in damping factor tan δ also at P/K NC of 3 wt%. The AFM study indicates that there was uniform and smooth surface roughness among the NCs. Thus, addition of MA/DCP on to P/K NC improves the reinforcing influence on the nanocomposites for better improvement.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is becoming an increasingly popular method for studying cell mechanics, however the existing analysis tools for determining the elastic modulus from indentation experiments are unable to quantitatively account for mechanical heterogeneity commonly found in biological samples.
