Ternary systems consisting of polypropylene (PP), ethylene‐propylene‐dieneterpolymer (EPDM) and different types of inorganic fillers (kaolin, BaSO 4 ) have been investigated with respect to their mechanical behavior. On the basis of an Interphase model, it was possible using the modified van der Poel equation to describe the temperature dependence of the storage modulus G ′( T ) and the loss modulus G ″( T ). The interphase properties G ′( T ) and G ″( T ) could be calculated.
