Abstract
Abstract A metal-polypropylene laminate composite comprising a polypropylene sheet made of a blend of a modified polypropylene prepared by modifying a crystalline polypropylene with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or its derivatives or a crystalline polypropylene containing such a modified polypropylene, with 15 to 50 wt. % of waste paper, organic fibers or wood pulp and metal plates superposed on and bonded by hot forming to both the surfaces of said polypropylene sheet is provided. It is of light weight and useful in acoustically sound absorption, vibration damping and heat insulation purpose.
