Abstrakt: In the current study the role of both plasma treated TiOX particles and strain rate on the tensile properties of plasma treated Nano TiOX particles PP/PLA nano-composites filaments (PTNTOPPCF) was studied. For this purpose filaments tensile samples of PTNTOPPCF were prepared on a twin screw mixer-twin screw extruder with a particle content of 0.3~1%. The influence of surface treatment of the particles, with and without low-temperature oxygen plasma treatment, on the physico-mechanical properties was studied. The experiments included tensile tests. Tensile test was done at different strain rates. The addition of plasma treated nano TiOX particles to PP/PLA causes a change in Young's modulus and yield stress of its composites. Also it was concluded that strain-rate sensitivity of PTNTOPPCF changed as plasma with and without oxygen treated Nano TiOX particles was added to it with different rate. The findings were found to be in accord with available experimental evidence in both a quantitative and qualitative manner. Deficiencies in the available experimental evidence were noted, specifically in the context of explaining some of the difficulties in comparing theoretical predictions to experimental observation.
