A fine-grain chalk (Omyalite 50H) with a mean particle diameter of 2μm was chosen. The matrix material was a polypropylene (Moplen HP 501 H) from Basell AG. PP/chalk mixtures with a chalk content in the range from 10 to 40wt.-% and pure PP were investigated. For subsequent independent validation, some mixtures were not included in the calibration.
