Thermal Conductivity and Degradation Kinetics of Copper Nanoparticle-Reinforced Polypropylene Composites: Towards Thermally Enhanced Active Food Packaging
This study investigates the thermal conductivity and degradation kinetics of copper nanoparticle (Cu NP) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites as potential materials for thermally enhanced food-packaging applications. Cu NP–PP nanocomposites were prepared by twin-screw extrusion at 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10 wt% Cu NP. Ther...
