Abstract

The effects of glass bead filler content and surface treatment of the glass with a silane coupling agent on the room temperature impact fracture behavior of polypropylene (PP)/ethylene-propylene-diene monomer copolymer (EPDM)/glass bead(GB) ternary composites were determined. The volume fraction of EPDM was kept constant at 10%. The impact fracture energy and impact strength of the composites increased with increasing volume fraction of glass beads (φ_g). Surface pretreatment of the glass beads had an insignificant effect on the impact behavior. For a fixed filler content, the best impact strength was achieved when untreated glass beads and a maleic anhydride modified EPDM were used. The impact strength exhibited a maximum value at φ_g = 15%. Morphology/impact property relationships and an explanation of the toughening mechanisms were developed by comparing the impact properties with scanning electron micrographs of fracture surfaces.
