Purpose: Aim of work has been concentrated on investigation of nanocomposites, as promising engineering materials, basing on polymers and organo-modified silicates as nano fillers. Design/methodology/approach: Conventional injection molding process additionally equipped with external computer controlled manipulation system for inducing the shear rates. Findings: Evidently reinforced structures at 3 and 5 wt % of nano-clay content inside polymer matrix for different processing settings related to higher shearing time. Research limitations/implications: Application of nano platelet together with developed injection molding technique brought satisfying mechanical results and development of morphology in the shape of gradient composition. Practical implications: Reinforced nanocomposites are promising materials with high strength and stiffness and with low cost of raw materials (97 wt% of polypropylene and 3 wt% of 2:1 phyllosilicate). Originality/value: Wide application of polymer nanocomposites as materials with ameliorates properties render them high potential materials.
