Description of 3D Microstructure of the Composites with Polypropylene (PP) Matrix and Tuf Particles Fillers

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main goal of the study was working out the method of qualitative and quantitative analysis of the microstructure on 3D images of the polypropylene composites with Tuf (type of rock consisting volcanic ash) particles. Three types of composite were analyzed: with 10, 15 and 25% of Tuf. The standard morphological parameters were indicated that describes size, shape, and distribution of Tuf particles in the matrix. The morphological characterization of examined microstructure was compared with mechanical properties. The optimal from the point of mechanical properties composition of this composite were proposed.
