Abstract
The paper is focused on the analyses of the mechanical and
physical properties of the hybrid composite systems based on
the polypropylene matrix with implemented reinforcing
cellulose fibres. The polymer phase of this conventional
composites is furthermore modified by physical blowing agents,
which are utilized for the formation of light microcellular
structures. Interactions of all the components of these hybrid
composites are evaluated in terms of density change, impact
resistance, bending and tensile properties. Complying with the
assumption closed pores generally decreased mechanical
properties of the multiphase composite systems. The reduce of
mechanical properties induced by presence of the microcellular
structure was more significant with increasing level of filling by
reinforcing particles.
