RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF KAOLIN TOUGHENED POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITES

摘要

The relation between the rheological behavior and various interfacial properties ofKaolin rigid particle toughened polypropylene (PP / Kaolin) composites were studied bymeans of parallel-plate rheometer, melt flow rate apparatus, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and other testing methods. The results show that addition of interfacial modffier toPP/Kaolin composites is advantageous to homogeneous dispersion of filler in PP matrix,formation of flexible interlayer between Kaolin particles and PP matrix and Amprovementof the melt processibility of the composites.
