The combination of the inclusion of elastomer and rigid phases with the use of the LCB-PP led to foams with a better cellular structure, an improved ductility, and considerable values of the elastic modulus. Consequently, the produced foams presented simultaneously an excellent impact performance and a high stiffness with respect to their corresponding solid counterparts. eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ © 2020 MDPI Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Foams with enhanced ductility and impact behavior based on polypropylene composites info:eu-repo/semantics/article
