Polypropylene-based composites modified with lactic acid and its derivatives

Composites based on polypropylene and lactate-modified N,N-diallylacrylamide montmorillonite were obtained by melt blending. The structure of the obtained composites was investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that the elastic modulus, impact toughness and yield strength of the composites are improved compared to unfi lled polypropylene.
