Structure as well as mechanical and thermal properties of the nanocomposites based on recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) are investigated. 1, 2 and 5 wt. % of unmodified montmorillonite nanoclay (MMT) were introduced in the RPET matrix by melt compounding in a twin screw extruder. Results of the investigations testify that optimum content of MMT for modification of RPET is between 1 and 2 wt. %. Up to this nanofiller weight content, the most rapid increase of stiffness, strength and impact toughness is observed. Besides it, at this nanofiller weight content the investigated composite have somewhat improved thermal resistance. It is demonstrated that the improvement of these properties is due to better distribution of MMT in the polymer matrix. At higher nanofiller content, the undesirable effects of the nanofiller agglomeration becomes more important.

Structural, mechanical, and thermal properties of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) filled with Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals particles were studied. It was shown that the introducing of quasicrystalline fillers into the polymer matrix results in the increase in Young’s modulus, hardness, and toughness of the polymer. Quasicrystalline fillers can improve thermal properties of PPS, including heat resistance index, Vicat softening temperature, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity.

This study reveals the enhancement of mechanical and thermal properties of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP- g-MA) with the addition of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). A nanocomposite was manufactured by blending various percentages of PP, MA, and NCC nanoparticles by means of a twin-screw extruder. The influence of varying the percentages of NCC on the mechanical and thermal behavior of the nanocomposite was studied by performing three-point bending, nanoindentation, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy tests. The novelty of this study stems on the NCC nanoparticles and their ability to enhance the mechanical and thermal properties of PP. Three-point bending and nanoindentation tests revealed improvement in the mechanical properties in terms of strength, modulus, and hardness of the PP- g-MA nanocomposites as the addition of NCC increased. SEM showed homogeneity between the mixtures which proved the presence of interfacial adhesion between the PP- g-MA incorporated with NCC nanoparticles that was confirmed by the FTIR results. DSC and TGA measurements showed that the thermal stability of the nanocomposites was not compromised due to the addition of the coupling agent and reinforced nanoparticles.
