Notes:
A surface treatment technology was developed for PP/mica composites that produces a diffuse interlayer with excellent adhesion between the components. The interlayer is created by the silane treatment of the filler and the chemical modification of the polymer components, and its polarity gradually decreases from the surface of the filler to the matrix. Properties of the composites depend on the characteristics of the interphase. With changing chemical composition, the characteristics of the interphase change from a thin, rigid layer to a more diffuse, elastic one. Properties of the composites change accordingly, optimum properties are achieved with a thick interlayer ensuring good stress transfer, strength, hardness, acceptable impact properties, and low mold shrinkage.
