Effect of Polypyrrole/Graphene Oxide nanoparticles on the Electrical and Tensile Properties of Polypropylene nanocomposites

In this article Polypropylene/polypyrrole-grapheneoxide (PP/PPy-GO) nanocomposites were prepared bymelt mixing. PPy-GO nanocomposite were prepared by chemical polymerization and served as nanofillers. FTIRanalysis was used for the characterization of PPy-GO composites and their effects on tensile and electrical properties ofPP-based nanocomposites were examined. It was found that the Young's modulus and tensile strength increased withthe increase of nanofiller content. Tensile results also showed that PPy-GO composite significantly affected themechanical properties of PP based nanocomposites. It was also observed that PP-g-MA improved the distribution ofPPy-GO nanoparticles and affected electrical and mechanical properties of PP based nanocomposites.
