FTIR quantitative analytical method is described as an alternative technique for computation of the filler content in polypropylene composites. White rice husk ash (WRHA) was incorporated as a filler material into polypropylene homopolymer. Absorption peaks at 480, 621, and 790 cm −1 chosen for the quantitative analysis work have been shown to give good linearity with increasing filler contents. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
