The effect of compatibilizing and coupling agents on the mechanical properties of glass bead filled PP/PET blends

PP/PET blends (95/5) filled with 50% by weight of glass beads were prepared and studied at morphological and mechanical level, and compared with its analogous samples of glass bead‐filled PP. The influence of a compatibilizing agent (maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene) and different silane coupl...

Zusammenfassung:PP/PET blends (95/5) filled with 50% by weight of glass beads were prepared and studied at morphological and mechanical level, and compared with its analogous samples of glass bead‐filled PP. The influence of a compatibilizing agent (maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene) and different silane coupling agents was analysed. It has been found that PET embeds glass bead surface independently on the silane coupling agent employed. Addition of MAPP in PP/PET blends leaded to tensile strength values similar to those of unfilled PP, but rupture takes place in a brittle manner.
