摘要: Abstract The influence of the temperature on fracture parameters three types polypropylenes under static loading conditions has been analyzed. Single-phase polypropylene homopolymer and random ethylene–propylene copolymer were tested slightly above their glass transition temperatures (within ductile-to-brittle region), well below them; heterophasic block copolymers range from propylene matrix to elastomer phase. Attending mechanical response, suitable Fracture Mechanics approaches used. toughness increased with for single-phase polymers but not sensitive elastomeric phase despite variation properties.
