The results show, that the mechanical properties of mica/polypropylene composites, in terms of yield stress, fracture strain, compression modulus and compressive strength, were greatly affected by the level of strain rates applied and mica content. It was found that the Bergström model was both consistent and reliable, in evaluating the effect of the strain hardening mechanism of the composites, in respect to the applied strain rate. The relationship between the strain rate sensitivity and the thermal activation volume of the mica/polypropylene composites were successfully obtained at various mica contents, where the results show a contradicting pattern for both parameters. 2011-05-31T04:10:29Z 2011-05-31T04:10:29Z 2011-01-25 Article Materials Science and Engineering: A, vol. 528(3), 2011, pages 1567-1576 0921-5093 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921509310012499 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/12165 en Elsevier B.
