Description

Polypropylene/montmorillonite composite was prepared via melt compounding process. The dispersion of montmorillonite in the composite was analyzed by XRD (X Ray Diffraction) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). Electronic radiation was applied to the composite in air. The effects of cross-linking agent and montmorillonite on polypropylene cross-linking was studied. The results indicated that cross-linking did not take place in absence of cross-linking agent, while in presence of both cross-linking agent and montmorillonite polypropylene cross-lining occurred in certain radiation dose range. The cross-linked polypropylene/montmorillonite composite exhibited improved mechanical properties. (authors)
