EFFECT OF NANOCLAY (HALLOYSITE) ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF RECYCLED POLYPROPYLENE FILLED NAOH TREATED MAIZE COB POWDER COMPOSITES

Muhammad A.^*, Abdullahi, D, Musa M. B., Nuhu L., Hamza A.

This study investigates the influence of halloysite nanoclay (NC) on the mechanical properties of recycled polypropylene (rPP) composites reinforced with untreated maize cob powder (UMCP) and NaOH-treated maize cob powder (NaOH TMCP). Composites were fabricated with filler loadings of 10–40 wt% at particle sizes of 100–500 µm, and NC additions of 2...

EFFECT OF NANOCLAY (HALLOYSITE) ON THE DYNAMIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF RECYCLED POLYPROPYLENE FILLED NaOH TREATED MAIZE COB POWDER COMPOSITES

Muhammad A.^*, Abdullahi, D, Musa M. B., Nuhu L., Hamza A.

This study investigates the effects of nanoclay (halloysite) on the dynamic mechanical behaviour of recycled polypropylene (rPP) composites reinforced with maize cob powder (MCP). The influence of filler loading (10–40 wt%), particle size (100–500 µm), 2 % NaOH surface treatment, and nanoclay content (2–8 wt%) on storage modulus (E′), loss modulus ...
