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