The mechanical properties and crystalline characteristics of polypropylene (PP) and nano precipitated calcium carbonate (NPCC) nanocomposites prepared via melt mixing in an internal mixer and melt extrusion in a twin screw extruder, were compared. The effect of maleic anhydride grafted PP (PP-g-MAH)...
