Youngs Modulus:It is also called the tensile or elastic
modulus. Youngs modulus can be calculated from the
initial straight line portion of a stress-strain curve;
tensile modulus is the slope of this line [8]. The result
2. Work Review
Zhao et al. [9] in 2001, studied about the mechanical
properties of mica-filled polypropylene(PP)-based
composite. First of all mica-filled polypropylene
composite was prepared by a double-belt press and its
mechanical properties were tested. It was found that
with lower mica content in matrix the tensile and
flexural properties were improved; however, at a high
mica content level, the tensile and flexural properties
decreased. With respect to the impact strength, there is
a maximum value at an approximate 20 wt % mica
content level.Ozden G [10] in 2004, studied the
synthesis and characterization of polystyrene clay
nanocomposites. This study was undertaken to prepare
polystyrene
