AbstractIsotactic polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites containing 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 wt % silver (Ag) nanoparticles were prepared via melt compounding in a twin-screw extruder followed by injection molding The effects of the Ag nanoparticle additions on the structure and mechanical behavior of PP were studied using DSC, WXRD, optical microscopy, tensile and Izod impact techniques. DSC and WXRD measurements showed that the addition of only 0.1 wt% Ag nanoparticles promote the formation of β-form PP. Further increasing Ag content would not lead to additional increase of the β-PP phase content. The induced β- form PP phase is beneficial to enhance the impact strength and tensile ductility of the PP/Ag nanocomposites.
