摘要: This study investigated the sonication effect on mechanical properties of thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) nanocomposites reinforced by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The TPNR were prepared using melt blending method from polypropylene, and liquid as a compatibilizer, respectively, with 1% MWCNTs. results showed that good dispersion was achieved sonication. An optimal time 1 h found to produce maximum tensile impact strength. Young’s modulus, strength, elongation at break strength increased almost 11%, 21%, 43% 50%, respectively compared pristine sample. also confirmed dynamic analysis, it storage modulus E0, loss E00 glass transition temperature (Tg) for all MWCNTs samples. Scanning electron micrographs confirm their interfacial bonding in after
