Abstract
In this work the morphology and the rheological and mechanical properties of a nanocomposite made of a polypropylene with graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) have been investigated as a function of the compounding parameters to evaluate the thermomechanical degradation behaviour of this system. The presence of graphene seems to reduce the thermomechanical degradation of the matrix. A better dispersion of the GNP seems the cause of this behaviour.
