The influence of maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene (m-PP) on static mech. properties of continuous glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites was studied. M-PP was added to the PP homopolymer to improve the adhesion between the matrix and the glass fiber. Three-point bending tests were performed on 0 Deg and 90 Deg unidirectional glass fiber/PP laminates with different wt. fractions m-PP in the PP matrix. These tests showed an increase in both longitudinal and transverse flexural strength up to 10 wt.% m-PP, whereas at higher wt. fractions m-PP a decrease in flexural strength was obsd. No significant influence of m-PP on composite stiffness was obsd
