Modified nanocomposite system was produced by masterbatch melt extrusion process while water-assisted nanocomposite was prepared via direct melt extrusion process. Investigations were conducted by hyphenated thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TGA-FTIR). Small traces of surfactant alkyl ammonium ions in the nanocomposite can be found in the masterbatch and nanocomposite.FulltextenThermal degradationMelt extrusionProcess temperatureConference PresentationKhoza, M., Sinha Roy, J., Ray, S.
