Three different types of zinc oxide (ZnO) with different morphologies were used as fillers. Each composite was subjected to characterization analyses including tensile testing, UV-vis spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The tensile strength, tensile modulus and elongation at break of the PP/nanoZnO composites were observed to be greatly enhanced despite the low filler content (1 wt%). All ZnO-reinforced composites exhibited superior UV absorption characteristic especially for composite specimens reinforced with ZnO morphology rich in nanorods. 2014-05-15T13:03:43Z 2014-05-15T13:03:43Z 2009 Article Advanced Composites Letters, vol. 18(3), 2009, pages 77-83 0963-6935 http://www.acletters.org/abstracts/18_3_2.html http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/34435 en Adcotec Ltd
