EFFECT OF NANOSCALE CARBON BLACK, AMMONIUM POLYPHOSPHATE, AND MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE ON PROPERTIES OF POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITES

Effect of Nanoscale Carbon Black, Ammonium Polyphosphate, and Microcrystalline Cellulose on Properties of Polypropylene Composites

The effects of nano-sized carbon black (CB), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were tested relative to the mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene (PP)-based composites.Composites were produced by injection molding in nine different combinations by adding materials at the levels of 0% or 10% MCC, 0% or 15
