Particulate filled polypropylene: structure and properties

  • Chapter
Polypropylene Structure, blends and Composites

Abstract

Particulate-filled polypropylene (PP) has been used in large quantities in numerous fields of applications for many years. Figure 1.1 shows not only the most important applications, but also the obviously high growth rate of these materials [1]. The success of particulate-filled PP lies in its extremely advantageous price/volume/performance relations [2–5], with the result that PP composites successfully penetrate fields traditionally occupied by other materials such as ABS [6, 7]. Considerable efforts have been made to extend their application to fields where engineering thermoplastics have been used exclusively up to now [8, 9].
