Due to their low density, low cost, ease of processing, and good chemical resistance, polymers are widely used in engineering applications (Kovacs & Suplicz, 2013). The demand for synthetic polymers in the automotive and aviation sectors has increased in recent years. Polyethylene, polypropylyne (PP), polycarbonat and polyamide are commonly used for inner, exterior and other functional parts for these areas (Lapcik et al., 2008). Among these polymers, polypropylene (PP) stands out due to its excellent moldability, mechanical properties, low cost and high recyclability making it widely used . Talc is generally used as reinforcement filler for PP because of its low cost and suitable flaky particle morphology (Kinoshita et al., 2023). Its content has magnesium silicat and its general chemical formula is Mg3S,4O10(OH)2 (Castillo et al., 2013). In recent years researchers focus on reinforced polymers with nano materials instead of commonly used fillers like talc. These materials are generally carbon based materials. Carbon nanotups, carbon nanofibers, graphene and graphene-based materials such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced GO (rGO) can be given as examples of carbon-based nano fillers. Graphene and graphene based materials are gaining attention due to superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties (Ghasem, et al., 2016). This study aims to investigate the effect of using talc and graphene-based additives in a hybrid form on the properties of PP.
