Abstract:
1. A method for producing a nanocomposite material, including nanofillers dispersed in a thermoplastic polymeric matrix, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a starting thermoplastic polymeric material, having a crystalline structure; b) providing one or more precursors of the nanofillers; c) bringing the starting thermoplastic polymeric material into the molten state and dispersing the precursor or precursors therein; d) subjecting the precursor or precursors to in situ thermolysis, thereby generating the nanofillers directly within the molten polymeric material; and e) causing solidification of the molten polymeric material including the nanofillers, thereby obtaining the nanocomposite material, wherein the thermoplastic polymeric material is isotactic polypropylene, and wherein the precursor or precursors comprise/comprises acetylacetonates.
