Abstract
Pure PP film without compatibilizer and nanoclay, nanoclay reinforced PP film without compatibilizer and nanoclay reinforced PP films with compatibilizer were produced to study the effect of nanoclay amount and compatibilizer presence on thermal, morphological and mechanical properties of films. Reinforced films were produced with 1% and 3% nanoclay contents with 3 different compatibilizer amounts to examine if nanoclay addition changes properties of the films in the same manner with different compatibilizer amounts. Melting points of the films slightly increase as the nanoclay content increases. Decomposition temperatures increase, as the nanoclay content increases. As the nanoclay content increases, tensile, burst and tear strengths for the reinforced films decrease. It can be observed that the increase in nanoclay content lowers strain and extension values for reinforced films due to nanoclay dispersion.
Kurzfassung
Reine PP-Folien ohne PP-Compatibilizer und Nanoclay, Nanoclay verstärkte PP-Folien ohne Compatibilizer und Nanoclay verstärkte PP-Folien mit Compatibilizer wurden hergestellt, um die Effekte der Nanoclay-Menge und der Anwesenheit von Compatibilizer auf die thermischen, morphologischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften der Folien zu untersuchen. Die verstärkten Folien wurden mit 1% und 3% Nanoclay mit drei verschiedenen Compatibilizer-Mengen hergestellt, um herauszufinden, ob die Nanoclay-Zugabe die Eigenschaften der Folien bei verschiedenen Compatibilizer-Mengen in derselben Weise verändert. Die Schmelzpunkte der Folien stiegen leicht mit der Erhöhung der Nanoclay-Menge. Die Zersetzungstemperatur erhöht sich mit steigendem Nanoclay-Zusatz. In der Weise, wie der Nanoclay-Zusatz steigt, fällt die Zug-, Berst- und Reißfestigkeit der verstärkten Folien. Es wurde festgestellt, dass eine Erhöhung des Nanoclay-Zusatzes die Verformungs- und Verlängerungswerte der verstärkten Folien infolge der Nanoclay-Verteilung absenkt.
