PP/elastomer/calcium carbonate composites: effect of elastomer and calcium carbonate contents on the deformation and impact behavior

Journal of Materials Science volume 37, pages 2615–2621 (2002)Cite this article

Abstract

The morphology and mechanical behavior of ternary polypropylene/ethylene-octene copolymer/calcium carbonate composites have been investigated as a function of elastomer and filler contents. A separate dispersion of phases was observed. Increasing concentration of EOC and CaCO3 promotes a decrease of matrix ligament thickness between elastomer particles resulting in a huge increase of the toughness. The stiff filler used in this study provided the unusual additional benefit of substantially increasing in Young's and flexural modulus of the composites.
