"This presentation examines the effect of the micro/nano ?sized talc filler on the physico-chemical and mechanical properties of the filled poly(propylene) (SABIC PP 108MF10, SABIC PP 33 MBTU (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation), Borealis, HE125MO grade) composite matrix. A range of mechanical properties were measured (tensile test, bending test, fracture toughness, notched impact strength (at the ambient temperature and ?20\u00B0 C), strain at break, impact strength), as well as micro-hardness testing and thermal stability from 40 to 600 \u00B0C measured by thermal analysis DTA and TGA. It was found that increasing filler content lead to a concomitant increase mechanical strength and toughness. The observed increase in tensile strength ranged from 15 to 25 % (maximum tensile strength at break was found to be 22 MPa). The increase in strength and toughness simultaneously lead to higher brittleness reflected in the decrease of mean impact strength from the initial 18 kJ/m2 (for the virgin PP sample) to 14 kJ/m2,"@en . .
