    Abstract
    Polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites are good candidates to improve polymer matrices due to enhanced interfaces between nanoclay reinforcement and matrix. So many attempts has been done to improve fabrication methods of these nanocomposites. Polypropylene is a common used engineering material in many industrial applications (general and special). So there is many researches focused on PP/Clay nanocomposites. In this research we tried to investigate the role of clay loading, compatibilizer loading and processing sequence on clay delamination and layer dispersion. We used a blend of two different PPs with different MFI values as matrice. It seems that the blend achieves acceptable...
