Composites Based on Polypropylene and Talc: Processing Procedure and Prediction Behavior by Using Mathematical Models

Figure 2

Young’s modulus versus composition iPP/Talc (90/10, wt.%) in different processing procedure: all components being fed simultaneously (iPP/Talc A and iPP/Talc B composites) and from masterbath dilution (iPP/MTalc A and iPP/MTalc B composites). SEM micrographs (a) neat iPP; (b) iPP/Talc A; (c) iPP/MTalc A; (d) iPP/Talc B; and (e) iPP/MTalc B.
