Alumina recovery from industrial waste: study on the thermal, tensile and wear properties of polypropylene/alumina nanocomposites

The investigation on the influences of alumina (Al2O3) particles in nano-sized retrieved from Aluminium (Al) dross was conducted on the tensile, thermal and wear properties of polypropylene (PP) composites. The thermal decomposition method was used to synthesise the micro α-Al2O3 particles from Al-d...
