Polypropylene/clay nanocomposites produced by shear controlled orientation in injection moulding : deformation and fracture properties

The effect of distinct morphologies induced by shear controlled orientation in injection moulding (SCORIM) in the mechanical and fracture performance of polypropylene (PP) and PP/nanoclay mouldings is examined in this work. The effect of high shear conditions applied during processing was assessed....
