Reinforcement of Polypropylene Using Micro-Fillers

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the effect the ratio of filler (Na10MB3A) on the tensile strength of polypropylene (PP). This filler has been added to PP in various ratios and mixed evenly before injecting. The tensile strength of PP increases gradually when the ratio of filler increases. Tensile strength reaches its maximum value with a certain ratio of filler, and thereafter the strength decreases as the ratio of fillers is increased. This research revealed that the tensile strength of PP can rise by approximately 13.5% with the addition of Na10MB3A at a ratio of 3%.
