In this work, the properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/alumina composites prepared by melt blending were evaluated. Two types alumina used: one, that was synthesized (ALS) combustion reaction method, and other is commercially available (ALC). Extrusion proved to be a good processing technique for obtaining PMMA/alumina composites. containing ALC presented higher average particles size. The addition PMMA substantially decreased wear index increased scratch resistance. mechanical ALS...
In this work, the effect of vermiculite (VMT) clay loading on rheological properties and flammability bio-based high-density polyethylene/organically modified VMT (BioHDPE/OVMT) biocomposites containing 0.5–10 phr OVMT was investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that BioHDPE intercalated between galleries. BioHDPE/OVMT 5 10 exhibited a shear-thinning behavior better dispersion/distribution in matrix. The biocomposite organoclay presented percolated network structure. elastic modulus...
