    Because the strength of the wood plastic composite (WPC) is based on the fiber-matrix interaction, we have studied the influence of a coupling agent to modify the plastic matrix with different proportions of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MA). Therefore, the physical-mechanical properties of a novel series of WPC with 20% fiber by injection technique were evaluated. It is worth mentioningthat in the previous step to the injection process,these materials were mixed in a co-rotating twin screw extruder under mild conditions, because it was possible to reduce by 50% the residence time of the fiber with regard to polymer. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results for the WPC extrudates showed the onset temperatures of degradation with intermediate values T10 of ~ 295 掳C compared to the starting components (fiber, PP). The final product had聽 loss of ~ 3.4% associated with the second thermal process suffered material. The mechanical analysis showed an increase in tensile strength of 20.3% in the new WPC, while the flexural strength reached 46.2%. In the micro-structural analysis of the final products incorporating the fiber into the matrix was made using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Finally, the optimal mixing ratio necessary to achieve a significant increase in mechanical properties is determined.Debido a que la fuerza de los compuestos de madera y pl谩stico (CMP) se basa en la interacci贸n fibra-matriz, se ha estudiado la influencia del agente compatibilizante al modificar la matriz pl谩stica con diferentes proporciones de polipropileno injertado con anh铆drido mal茅ico (PP-g-MA). Por lo tanto, se evaluaron las propiedades t茅rmicas y mec谩nicas de una nueva serie de CMP con 20% de fibra mediante la t茅cnica de inyecci贸n. Cabe mencionar que en la etapa previa al proceso de inyecci贸n, estos materiales fueron mezclados en una extrusora de doble husillo co-rotante, en condiciones suaves debido a que se logr贸 disminuir en un 50% el tiempo de residencia de la fibra con respecto al pol铆mero. Los resultados de los an谩lisis termogravim茅tricos obtenidos de los productos extruidos de CMP presentaron una temperatura de degradaci贸n con valores intermedios de T10 ~295 掳C respecto a los componentes de partida (Fibra, PP). Los productos finales presentaron una p茅rdida de ~3.4% asociada al segundo proceso t茅rmico que sufri贸 el material. El an谩lisis mec谩nico present贸 un aumento en la resistencia a la tensi贸n del 20.3% en el nuevo CMP, mientras que la resistencia a la flexi贸n alcanz贸 un 46.2%. En el an谩lisis micro-estructural de los productos finales se observ贸 la incorporaci贸n de la fibra en la matriz mediante microscopia electr贸nica de barrido. Finalmente, se determin贸 la relaci贸n 贸ptima de la mezcla para lograr un incremento significativo en las propiedades mec谩nicas

    In this work, a development of composites of polypropylene [PP] with mineral fillers [M] of talc and calcium carbonate [CaCO3] by co-extrusion and injection techniques were carried out. In the preparation of the mixtures, was used the rheometric analysis to define the optimum temperature of the extrusion process, and a weight ratio of 80:20 PP: fillers was maintained, while for the injection molding process six generations of PP and its compounds were obtained to study the rheological, thermal, morphological and mechanical properties of the new series of PPnM composites formed from a recycled matrix and the PPMn series reprocessed compounds for up to six cycles. The results allowed correlating the changes due to the thermal history and the influence of adding the mineral fillers. The mechanical characterization in the reprocessed matrix indicated a 6.0% decrease in tensile strength and an increase in flexural strength of 9.9%. Likewise, the compounds showed an increase in tensile strength of 11.7%, while flexural strength reached 35.8%. From the thermogravimetric analysis, the degradation temperature in the matrix gradually decreased from 406.5 掳C to 364.3 掳C, for the sixth generation with respect to the virgin material by the injection process; meanwhile, for the compounds was maintained around 410 掳C indicating an optimal interaction, these results could be contrasted with the colorimetric analysis. Finally, re-injection led to a significant decrease in the size of the talc and CaCO3 particles; the sizes were estimated from microstructural analysis from Scanning Electron Microscope.En este trabajo, se llev贸 a cabo el desarrollo de compuestos de polipropileno [PP] con cargas minerales [M] de talco y carbonato de calcio [CaCO3] mediante t茅cnicas de coextrusi贸n e inyecci贸n. En la preparaci贸n de las mezclas, se utiliz贸 el an谩lisis reom茅trico para definir la temperatura 贸ptima del proceso de extrusi贸n, y se mantuvo una relaci贸n 80:20 en peso de PP con las cargas, mientras que para el proceso de moldeo por inyecci贸n se obtuvieron seis generaciones de PP y sus compuestos para estudiar las propiedades reol贸gicas, t茅rmicas, morfol贸gicas y mec谩nicas de las nuevas series de compuestos de PPnM formados a partir de una matriz reciclada y los compuestos reprocesados de la serie PPMn hasta seis ciclos. Los resultados permitieron correlacionar los cambios debidos al historial t茅rmico y la influencia de incorporaci贸n de las cargas minerales. La caracterizaci贸n mec谩nica en la matriz reprocesada indic贸 una disminuci贸n del 6,0% en la resistencia por tracci贸n y un aumento de la resistencia por flexi贸n del 9,9%. As铆 mismo, los compuestos mostraron aumento de la resistencia a la tracci贸n del 11,7%, mientras que la resistencia a la flexi贸n alcanz贸 el 35,8%. Por otro lado, la temperatura de degradaci贸n en la matriz disminuy贸 gradualmente de 406,5 掳C hasta 364,3 掳C, para la sexta generaci贸n con respecto al material virgen; mientras tanto, la temperatura de degradaci贸n de los compuestos se mantuvo alrededor de 410 掳C indicando una 贸ptima interacci贸n, estos resultados se pudieron contrastar con el an谩lisis colorim茅trico. Finalmente, la re-inyecci贸n condujo a una disminuci贸n significativa del tama帽o de las part铆culas de talco y CaCO3, los tama帽os fueron estimados a partir del an谩lisis microestructural mediante Microscop铆a Electr贸nica de Barrido (SEM)
