Abstract
A comparison has been made between the processability and mechanical p roperties of a new phosphate ester coated wollastonite and alternative reinforcing fillers at a loading of 40% in polypropylene copolymer. T he phosphate ester coated wollastonite was shown to improve MFR and fl ow length ratio whilst large increases in impact strength and elongati on to break were found without significantly detracting from modulus o r HDT.
