Abstract

The influence of talc and rubber contents included in polypropylene (PP) on surface replication properties for microstructure was analyzed. By increasing the talc and rubber contents, surface replication on the injection-molded parts has been reduced. From the surface observation, an uneven microstructure surface was formed for a material containing talc during the shrinkage process. It was confirmed that if the PP resin contains talc, then the correlation between glossiness of the mold and glossiness of the molded product was lost and glossiness was decreased. On the contrary, as the rubber content increased, the replication properties improved. At the same time, generation of the streak pattern in the transferred area, which was generated in the base PP, decreased and glossiness increased. Moreover, the fine uneven structure of the nontransferred area, as observed in the talc-containing material, was not observed in the rubber-containing material.
