## Abstract The purpose of this work was to study how mineral fillers would behave in a polypropylene (PP) matrix when PP modified with maleic anhydride (MA) and/or itaconic acid (IA) was used as a coupling agent in the preparation of mineral‐filled PP composites. The composites were characterized

## Abstract The melt rheological behavior of calcium silicate‐filled isotactic polypropylene, with filler volume contents of 0–17.8%, was determined at 493 K. The composites followed the power law in shear stress versus shear rate variations and were shear thinning. Initially, apparent melt viscosi
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polypropylene (PET/PP) were compounded and pelletized with a single-screw extruder. Standard ASTM tensile test specimens were made by injection moulding. The blends are stronger and sti †er than the plain PP specimens. The addition of a compatibilizer, EPOLENE E-43,
