Talc‐filled polypropylene (PP) composites coupled with silane‐grafted polypropylene (PP‐ g ‐Si) were prepared. Effect of PP‐ g ‐Si on the mechanical properties, crystallization, and melting behavior of PP composites was investigated. Compared with the uncoupled composites, the mechanical properties of Talc/PP composites coupled with a small amount of PP‐ g ‐Si were increased to some extent. Meanwhile, PP‐ g ‐Si can promote crystallization rate and increase crystallization temperature of PP in the composites. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 77: 2974–2977, 2000
