TL;DR: In this article, a composite material comprising calcium carbonate particles dispersed within a polypropylene matrix was proposed, where the particles have a size within the range of 1 to 100 nm and a filling ratio of less than about 30% by volume.
842 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of fiber loading, frequency and temperature on the dynamic mechanical properties of a composite was analyzed with the consideration of the intrinsic properties of the components, morphology of the system and the nature of interface between the phases.
