The effect of ethylene-octene copolymer (POE) and maleic anhydride grafted ethylene-octene copolymer (POE-MH) on the mechanical properties, especially the toughness, of highly filled HDPE/Al(OH)3 composites was studied. POE has hardly any effect on the toughness of the composites, but, POE-MH can improve it remarkably. The microstructure of the ternary phase composites was explored by SEM, DMA, and DSC. An encapsulation structure was obtained when POE-MH was used, and a phase-separated structure was obtained when POE was used.

In order to investigate the effect of interfacial adhesion on phase morphology, crystallization behavior and tensile property of magnesium hydroxide filled polypropylene (PP/MH) composites, PP blends with compatibilizers, compatibilised and uncompatibilised PP/MH composites were prepared in this work. Three different types of compatibilizers namely, polypropylene grafted-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA), ethylene-octene copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride (POE-g-MA) and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride (EVA-g-MA) were used to control the interfacial adhesion among the components. SEM analysis revealed the formation of an encapsulation structure in PP/compatibilizer/MH composites. The interfacial tension (γAB) and wetting coefficient (ωα) results also confirmed the formation of encapsulation structure in these ternary composites. Addition of compatibilizers improved the interfacial adhesion between PP matrix and MH particles and resulted in improvement in tensile strength.
