Abstract
Composites based on polypropylene and modified montmorillonite were produced by mixing in a melt on a twin-screw extruder (Jiangsu Xinda Science & Technology, China). The structure of the obtained composites was investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. It was shown that, by comparison with unfilled polypropylene, the elastic modulus, impact strength, and flow index of the composites are higher, while the time of combustion and the flame propagation rate are lower.
