Maleic anhydride (MAH) modified polypropylene (PP) was demonstrated to be a chemical coupling agent in filled PP compounds. Improved properties were shown for talc and wollastonite filled PP compounds with MAH modified PP as a coupling agent. Partial replacement of glass fiber with wollastonite showed no reduction in properties.
