Rubber-toughened polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites containing organophilic layered silicates were prepared by means of melt extrusion at 230°C using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder in order to examine the influence of the organoclay and the addition of PP grafted with maleic anhydride (PPgMAH) as...
