Modification of nanoclay using transition metal ion and its effect on mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of wood-plastic composites
In this study, wood-plastic composites (WPCs) were fabricated from Polypropylene (PP), Wood flour (WF), Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) and nanoclay using extrusion followed by an injection molding technique. The effect of organoclay, montmorillonite (MMT) and transition metal ion (TMI...
