RESUMO
Our experiment revealed that the addition of Janus nanosheets to polypropylene (PP) has a significant impact on the viscoelasticity of the composite system. Specifically, when 0.10 wt% of Janus nanosheets were added, the complex viscosity of the composite system increased. However, when we added less than 0.05 wt% of Janus nanosheets, there was a reduction in complex viscosity, which is known as the non-Einstein phenomenon. The Cole-Cole plot showed that the nanosheet network structure did not have a significant effect on the viscosity of the composite system. Additionally, we used carbon dioxide as a foaming agent to autoclave foaming using modified PP from Janus nanosheets, and the results demonstrated that increasing the number of Janus nanosheets decreased the apparent density and strengthened the cell structure of foaming beads, resulting in improved closed porosity.
