Özet
The physical and mechanical properties of Polypropylene (PP) and Fe-PP polymer composites containing 5, 10, and 15 vol% Fe were investigated experimentally. After preparing PP and Fe–PP polymer composites with a twin screw extruder and injection molding, the following properties were determined: yield and tensile strength, the modulus of elasticity, % elongation, hardness (Shore D), Izod impact strength (notched), melt flow index (MFI), Vicat softening point, Heat deflection temperature (HDT), and melting temperature (Tm) of PP and metal-polymer composites. As compared to PP, It was found that by increasing the vol% of Fe in PP, notched Izod impact strength, yield and tensile strength, and % elongation decreased. On the other hand, the modulus of elasticity, hardness, MFI, vicat softening point, and HDT values increased with the amount of iron.
