Failure of the engineering structures is caused by
cracks, which is depending on the design and operating conditions that extend
beyond a safe size. Cracks present to some extent in all structures, either as
a result of manufacturing defects or localized damage in service. The crackgrowth leads to a decrease in the structural strength. Thus, when the service
leading to the failure of the structure. Fracture, the final catastrophic event
takes place very rapidly and is preceded by crack growth, which develops slowly
during normal service conditions.
It is of particular interest to investigate the
structure-property of rubber-rich TPO blends reinforced with rigid nanofillers.
The effect of nanoclay additions on the structure and property of rubber-rich
TPO blends has been investigated by Mishra et al.and Tjong and Ruan more
recently.
