Effect of silane-grafted polypropylene on the mechanical properties and crystallization behavior of talc/polypropylene composites

Talc‐filled polypropylene (PP) composites coupled with silane‐grafted polypropylene (PP‐g‐Si) were prepared. Effect of PP‐g‐Si on the mechanical properties, crystallization, and melting behavior of PP composites was investigated. Compared with the uncoupled composites, the mechanical properties of T...

Description
Summary:Talc‐filled polypropylene (PP) composites coupled with silane‐grafted polypropylene (PP‐g‐Si) were prepared. Effect of PP‐g‐Si on the mechanical properties, crystallization, and melting behavior of PP composites was investigated. Compared with the uncoupled composites, the mechanical properties of Talc/PP composites coupled with a small amount of PP‐g‐Si were increased to some extent. Meanwhile, PP‐g‐Si can promote crystallization rate and increase crystallization temperature of PP in the composites. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 77: 2974–2977, 2000
