Nucleating Effect of Carbon Nanoparticles and Their Influence on the Thermal and Chemical Stability of Polypropylene

Figure 4

TGA curves showing the weight loss with temperature due to decomposition of pure PP and PP compositions with 0.05 wt% of nucleating agent. Samples collected after 8 hours of immersion in nitric acid. The dotted lines represent the temperatures at which pure PP weight loss reached 10 and 50 wt%.
