| Micronized quartz powders reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were fabricated by using high speed thermo-kinetic mixer. The effect of micronized quartz on the mechanical properties of PP composites was investigated. Mechanical tests were carried out to determine tensile and flexural properties of composites. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of composites was performed to determine their thermo-mechanical properties, such as storage modulus and loss modulus. The results indicate that the tensile strength of PP decreased with addition of micronized quartz. Flexural strength, tensile modulus and flexural modulus of PP increased with the addition of 10 wt% micronized quartz. |
