Talc functionalization by superficial grafting of acetoxy groups enhances matrix-filler adhesion and particle dispersion/distribution of injection molded Polypropylene/talc specimens. These effects, and the consequent particle size reduction, lead to improved composite final mechanical properties.  DOI: 10.1002/spepro.004405  DOI: 10.1002/spepro.004405 Trabajo escrito a solicitud de la Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) para su publicación on-line por su potencial tecnológico y la posibilidad de aplicación directa en las industrias del sector.
