Effects of Kaolin Surface Treatments on the Thermomechanical Properties and on the Degradation of Polypropylene

The effects of kaolin content and treatments on the thermal and mechanical properties and on the degradation of polypropylene were examined using mechanical tests, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetry (TGA). The weak interactions filler/matrix have been reinforced using a mo...
