Mechanical properties and Morphology of long glass fiber reinforced PP composites

The effects of polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) on the interfacial interaction of PP/GF composites were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and mechanical properties. The experimental results demonstrate that PP-g-MA could effectively improve interfacial interaction between the PP and LGF. Based on SEM, good interfacial adhesion between PP and LGF in PP/PP-g-MA/LGF (66.5/3.5/30) composites was observed. All results in this paper were consistent, and showed the good interaction between PP and LGF, which were proved by the mechanical properties of the composites.
