Abstract:
The composite containing isotactic polypropylene (iPP), paraffin (WAX) and Ag nanoparticles, with mass ratio 90/9/1 respectively, was melt mixed. The samples were obtained cooling from the melt in three different ways: slowly cooling in the press; quenching at 35 C and 0 C. Additionally, the samples were annealed at 110 C for 15 min. Methods of differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy were used to establish effect of thermal history of the composites on their melting behavior and morphology.
