The important factors influencing the preparation of polypropylene/clay nanocomposites were discussed，including the nature of the polymer and clay, melt processing equipment and conditions. Low molecular weight and high M八H grafting degree of polypropylene were beneficial to intercalation，how-ever, once intercalated，high molecular weight and low MAH grafting degree were beneficial to the ex-foliation. The higher the canon exchange capacity(CEC) of the clay, the higher the degree of exfolia-tion was achieved. Twin-screw extruder constituted a good mean for the preparation of polypropylene/clay nanocomposites, which provide proper shear rate to obtain exfoliated structure. However, too high shear rate and too long resident time of the materials in the extruder may cause instability of the exfoliat-ed structure. In addition，an "electric melt pipe" equipped in the twin-screw extruder may promote the formation of exfoliated structure through its electric field. Processing parameters like loading sequence (direct blending or masterhatch method)，screw speed，barrel temperature, and the materials resident time all have impact on the structure of the nanocomposites, especially, high rotating speed of the screws and lower barrel temperature may enhance the exfoliation.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the curing behavior of lignin phe-nolic resin ( LPF) at heating rates of 5 , 10 , 15，and 20℃/min between 25℃and 250℃.八11 the ini-tial temperature T;，peak temperature Tp，and final temperature T} of curing increased with increasing heating rate. The curing behavior of LPF was affected by the amount of curing agent. When the content of curing agent was 12%，the curing behavior of LPF was similar to that of neat PF, but with a greatly lower TN. Little change in reaction heat was observed by altering heating rate and amount of curing agent. The kinetic analysis was performed by means of Ozawa equation and activation energy was obtained as 85 .64KJ/mol.

The non-isothermal crystallization behavior of dynamically cured polypropylene(PP)/epoxy(EP) blends compatibilizcd with malcic anhydride grafted PP(PP-g-M八H) was studied with difFcrcn-tial scanning calorimetry. The experiment data were treated with Ozawa and Kissinger equations, the
crystalline structure of PP in the blends was also studied. It showed that the cured epoxy particles acccl-crate the crystallization of PP component. The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of both neat PP and PP in the blends can be well approximated by Ozawa equation, and the kinetic constant K(T) of PP in blends was higher than that of neat PP.八ccording to Kissingcr'、method，the crystallization acti-vation(OF_)of PP in the blends was lower than that of neat PP, and a minimum of OF_ was observed at an epoxy resin weight concentration of 20 phr. Polarized optical microscopy showed that the size of neatPP spherulites was obviously larger than those in blends.

Effects of particle size and content of calcium carbonate, the type and dosage of dispersant resin, and processing temperature on the rhcological behavior of the heavily loaded calcium carbonate masterbatch were investigated using a rotating rhcometer with parallel plate geometry. Two "shear thinning" regions were observed from the rhcological curves, with one in the low shear rate region being attributed to the collapse of interface combination between the filler and resin, and the other being related to the di、一entanglement and orientation of polymer chains in the high shear rate range. The zero shear rate viscosity of the masterbatch was much larger than that of PE-LLD and increased rapidly with increasing filler content and/or decreasing particle size. The apparent viscosity in high shear rate region showed little change with filler size, but dramatically decreased with the addition of dispersant resins.The flow activation energy of the mastcrbatch was 25 .7KJ/mol，close to that of PE-LLD.

The influence of silane coupling agent KH-550 and KH-560 on the structure and properties ofpolypropylene(PP)/intumcsccnt flame-rctardant(KDIFR) composites was studied. X-ray diffraction(XRD)indicated that KDIFR promoted the formation of俘一form PP，which was strengthened by KH-550，but weakened by KH-560.SEM showed that the adhesion between KDIFR and PP was enhanced by the silanes. POM showed that the size of the spherulites of PP and the dispersion of KDIFR particles became more uniform with the increasing silane content. The mechanical properties of the composites were also improved.八recipe of PP/KDIFR/KH-560二70}30}5 was found to be optimal，the impact and tensile strengths were increased by 24. 2%and 9. 6%，rc}spectivcly, compared with neat PP/KDIFR eompcasites. The flame retardancy of the eompcasites was also improvcxl when silane was added.
