The mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene （PP）/muscovite/ low-density polyethylene （LDPE）/ polypropylenegraftmaleic anhydride （PP-g-MAH） ternary composites were investigated. In PP matrix, muscovite, LDPE, and PP-g-MAH were added as strengthening agent, toughening agent, and compatibilizer, respectively. The effects of dosages of the added materials were analyzed. The - experimental results show that the optimum recipe of PP/muscovite/LDPE/PP-g-MAH composites is 100/10/6/20 （mass ratio）. Compared with the pure PP, the mechanical properties of PP/muscovite/LDPE/PP-g-MAH composites, including notched impact strength, Rockwell hardness and flexural strength, are improved. Although tensile strength is slightly decreased, they have better toughness. Filled with muscovite, the heat-resistance and heat-decompostion of the composites are improved.
