Effects of nano-clay particles and oxidized polypropylene polymers on improvement of the thermal properties of wood plastic composite

In this study, the effects of oxidized polypropylene, as a compatibilizer, and Nano-clay particles in improving the thermal properties of wood plastic composites are investigated. For this purpose, polypropylene polymer was oxidized in the vicinity of the air oxygen for 2 hours. Then, in order to pr...
