ABSTRACTPresent work concerns to the study of the dynamic mechanical and thermal responses of selected polypropylene (iPP)/mica composites with a modified interface from the matrix side by using a p‐phenylen‐bis‐maleamic acid grafted atactic polypropylene, coming from a byproduct of industrial polymerization reactors. Thus, the study is mainly focused on the 75/25 iPP/mica ratio since it was identified in previous works as providing the maximum inter mica particle distance to assure they should participate in the overall process of dissipation of the mechanical energy supplied to the composites. Hence, the present dynamic mechanical analysis discussion tries to correlate the damping responses of the injection‐molded composites with those previously obtained but over compression molded composites as the basis of further studies all along the compositional iPP/mica map. Therefore, the latter let us, on the one hand, to follow how the main values of the different dynamic mechanical analysis parameters vary because of the interfacial modifier presence, and on the other, to develop a robust correlation between them and the corresponding macroscopic mechanical parameters. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
