Influence of layer architecture on fracture toughness and specimen stiffness in polymer multilayer composites
The objective of this contribution was to increase the fracture toughness of talcum reinforced polypropylene (PP) while preserving specimen stiffness. This was accomplished by introducing soft interlayers (ILs) made of standard PP (PP-St) or very compliant PP (PP-Soft) and utilizing the so-called ma...
