The influence of accelerated aging on selected mechanical properties of polypropylene with organic fillers

摘要

The aging effect in water atthe temperature of 100 +/- 2 degrees C on selected mechanical properties of polypropylene with organic fillers (hemp chaff, a mixture of oak, birch and maple leaves) was investi-gated. A significant influence of the aging process on the impact strength and elongation at break was observed. The degradation processes were also visible on the surface of the samples.
