Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene Based Composites Reinforced with B4C
Abstract:
The present work aims to compare the mechanical properties of Polypropylene (PP) based composites reinforced with B4C. Maleic Anhydride Modified Polypropylene (MAPP) was added to improve the B4C-matrix interphase. Processing has been carried out by twin-screw extrusion and injection molding. By adding the B4C particles to the PP and PP+MAPP matrix, the yield strength, shore D hardness, microhardness and relative scratch resistance increased gradually, but PP+MAPP/B4C composites showed better overall mechanical properties than the PP/B4C composites. However, elongation at break values occurred for all composites dropped with the B4C content, and PP+MAPP/B4C composites exhibited lower elongations at break than PP/B4C composites.
