heal.abstractThis research explores the potential of using exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets, xGnP, (graphene sheets 10nm thickness, 1μm diameter), as reinforcement in polypropylene, PP. xGnPPP nanocomposites were fabricated by melt mixing and injection molding. The feasibility of using xGnPPP nanocomposites was investigated by evaluating the flexural strength, modulus and impact strength and studying the morphology of this system as a function of xGnP loading and aspect ratio and by comparing the xGnPPP with composites made with commercial available reinforcements such as carbon fibers, carbon black and clays. It is concluded that the smaller aspect ratio xGnP has the strongest impact on the mechanical properties of PP, at loadings up to 5vol.%, compared to the other reinforcements used, which reflects the compatibility between the exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets and the PP matrix and the exceptional mechanical properties of xGnP, similar to crystalline graphite.en
