Consequently in the current research the effects of surface functionalization of carbon nanofillers as well as addition of specific processing aids to the polypropylene matrix during melt compounding by means of various manufacturing methods (internal mixer, twin screw extruder, twin roll mills) are evaluated. The effect of modification of polypropylene matrix by neat and functionalized carbon nanofillers has been evaluated by means of direct and undirect methods, such as electron microscopy, rheometry, stress-strain characterization, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and broadband dielectric spectroscopy.
