The time and temperature dependent tensile behavior of glass bead and talc-filled polypropylene was investigated. It could be observed that the addition of rigid particles result in an increase in stiffness below and above the glass transition temperature (T_g). The yield stress of the compound was increased above T_g and reduced below T_g. This was related to the deformation behavior that is, the ductile to brittle transition of the matrix. Furthermore the effect of particle size and aspect ratio on the mechanical behavior of the compound is discussed.
