There has been a major effort, particularly in the last five years, to develop polypropylene-
based composites to replace metals and many types of engineering
thermoplastics in high-performance applications. In addition to providing reduced
cost per unit volume, interphase design of polypropylene composites can be tailored
to suit a growing number of property specifications. The interphase region
is defined as the polymeric coating surrounding any type of dispersed particulate
incorporated in the polymer matrix, for example, mineral filler particles, glass
fibers, or even dispersed elastomer droplets.
This handbook is a comprehensive guide to interphase design, describing key
material ingredients that contribute to suitable thermal and mechanical behavior
demanded by end-use requirements. I have identified interphase design as the
foundation on which additives are the individual building blocks needed to develop
a suitable material. The sequence of formation steps begins with the manufacture
of polypropylene resins and culminates with the aufbau (‘‘building up’’)
of the interphase design. |
