Abstract
Al(OH)(3)/polypropylene (PP) composites modified by polypropylene grafted w
ith acrylic acid (FPP) were prepared by melt extrusion. Effect of PP grafti
ng with acrylic acid on mechanical properties and fracture morphology of Al
(OH)(3)/polypropylene composites were investigated. Although incorporation
of Al(OH)(3) reduced the mechanical properties of PP, addition of FPP incre
ased the mechanical properties of Al(OH)(3)IPP composites. It is suggested
that addition of FPP improve the dispersion of Al(OH)(3) and the interfacia
l interaction between filler and matrix. Mechanical properties of Al(OH)(3)
/FPP/PP composites depend on the grafting rate and the content of FPP. (C)
