Abstract

The study of the microstructure of polymeric composites and its relationship to mechanical properties, are of great importance. In the present study vv8 have carried out a study of the microstructure of polymeric composites of polypropylene and different sepiolites treated with organic acids, in order to determine the mesophase produced around We filler particles and its relationship with the mechanical properties of the composites. This study was made using scanning electron microscopy, differential Scanning calorimetry and mechanical tests.
