Polyamide 6 (PA6)/magnesium hydroxide (MH) nanoparticles composites have been prepared by in situ polymerization of ε-caprolactam in the presence of pristine MH and γ-aminopropyl-triethoxysilan ( KH550 ) grafted MHs (MMH). Compared with pure PA6, the tensile strength and elongation at break of PA6/MH and PA6/MMH composites shown obvious increasement and attain maximum at loading of 3 wt% MHs. The tensile strength and elongations at break of PA6/MMH composites exhibited notably enhancement contrast with that of PA6/MH composites. Comparing with PA6/MH composites, the izod impact strength of PA6/MMH composites were also improved. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shown that MMH particles were homogeneous dispersed in PA6 matrix due to the surface modification of grafting KH550.

Sodium alginate based films containing turmeric oil (TEO) at different concentrations (1, 2 and 3%) were developed. The film with no TEO was used as control. Incorporation of TEO had the effects on the film properties. With increasing TEO concentrations, thickness, elongation at break, permeability of oxygen and water vapor of the films significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased. Whereas moisture content, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity significantly (p ≤ 0.05) decreased. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed more numerous pores and rougher surface of the antifungal films than the control film.

Polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The morphology of MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst and PE/MMT nanocomposites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It can be seen that MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst remained the original MMT sheet structures and many holes were found in MMT and the morphology of PE/MMT nanocomposites is part of the sheet in the form of existence, as most of the petal structure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were carried out to characterize all the samples. XRD results reveal that the original basal reflection peak of PEI1 and PEI2 disappears completely and that of PEI3 become very weak. MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst was finely dispersed in the PE matrix. Instead of being individually dispersed, most layers were found in thin stacks comprising several swollen layers.

We prepared the polyaniline@polypyrrole (PAn@PPy) conductive composite by a novel method. The struction like Pre-prepared PAn as the core and PPy as the shell for the composite has been prepared by in-situ polymerization. The PAn@PPy conductive composite presents an electrical conductivity of 12.5 S/cm, which is much higher than pure PAn. The synthesized polymer composites are characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The results indicated that PPy successfully grafted on PAn and the heat resistance of nanocomposite is remarkably increased.

The nanocomposites of polypropylene (PP)/graphene were prepared by melt blending. The effects of the dosage of graphene on the flow and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were investigated. The morphologies of fracture surfaces were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The graphene simultaneous enhanced tensile and impact properties of nanocomposites. A 3.22% increase in tensile strength, 39.8% increase in elongation at break, and 26.7% increase in impact strength are achieved by addition of only 1 wt.% of graphene loading. The morphological behavior indicates the fracture surface of PP/graphene is more rough than that of pure PP.

Glass from computers’ LCD monitor screens were recovered, ground and used as filler for Polyamide-6. The composites contained 10 wt% of glass particles. Two particle sizes were tested: glass particles smaller than 106 μm (ABNT#150 sieve) and smaller than 53 μm (ABNT#270 sieve). The filler was evaluated by loss on ignition and the composites by tensile strength and Izod impact strength. The morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The value of Young’s modulus of composites processed with glass particles smaller than 53 μm was higher than the one for PA-6. The properties of impact strength, tensile strength, and elongation of PA-6 were reduced with the addition of filler, and the composite containing glass particles smaller than 53 μm showed the lowest reduction in mechanical properties (about 6% in the tensile strength and about 48% in impact strength). The micrographs of fracture surfaces of tensile strength specimens showed weak adhesion particle/matrix and uniform distribution of the particles in the matrix, especially in the composite with finest particle sizes.

This study aims was to determine the effect of palm oil fuel ash (POFA) composite as filler on the physical and mechanical properties of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) composites. The research methodology included preparation of raw materials, treatment POFA (hydration process of POFA), mixing using tumbler and then extruder, molding composite specimens, and testing. The variables used were weight ratio of HIPS with 140 mesh POFA at 95/5; 92.5/7.5; 90/10. The composites were tested by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), ash content, specific gravity, tensile strength, elongation at break, impact strength, hardness test, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results of FTIR characterization shows the formation of –OH bonding that was suspected as Si-OH or Si-hydrat. Results of physical and mechanical properties of the composites shows that increase of the filler composition in HIPS-POFA composites until the ratio of 90/10, increase the specific gravity to 7.2% of the original, tensile strength did not change significantly to 28.4 MPa, elongation at break decreased to 2.7%, impact strength decreased to 3.183 KJ/m2, and the hardness increased to 110.5, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) test show the transformation of POFA structure on treated POFA and intercalation between the matrix and POFA.

The virgin polyethylene (vPE) and recycled polyethylene (rPE) was melt blended with ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) in different ratio by using a Haake Rheomix at 180°C and 50 rpm were prepared. The characterization such as tensile properties and morphology were examined. Results indicated that, the tensile strength and youngs modulus of vPE/rPE/EPDM with CB show the highest value compared to silica and CaCO3 except for elongation at break. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies proved that, better dispersion and less agglomeration of CB and silica filled particles as compared to the CaCO3.

Crosslink of recycled polypropylene with polyaniline (rPP-PANI) have been prepared via ultrasound extrusion. The concentration of PANI used in the research was varied from 0 to 10 wt% and that of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was fixed in 1 phr loading of PANI. To examine the morphological structure of the blends, fill emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was conducted. The increasing loading of polyaniline (PANI) has promoted a slight improvement in both elastic modulus and tensile strength at 4 wt% and impact strength at 10 wt%. However elongation at break showed a decrease at all PANI loadings. The FESEM micrograph confirmed good dispersion of nano-PANI on rPP matrix to form crosslinking between rPP matrix and PANI.
