Rubber-toughened polypropylene (PP)/org-Montmorillonite (org-MMT) nanocomposite with polyethylene octene (POE) copolymer were compounded in a twinscrew extruder at 230°C and injection-molded. The POE used had 25 wt % 1-octene content and the weight fraction of POE in the blend was varied in the ran...
