Abstract
Economical manufacturing methods of mass production and improvements to the properties of finished products have in many applications greatly helped to replace traditional materials, such as metals or wood, with plastics and rubbers. In particular, polypropylene (PP) is the fastest growing commodity plastic world-wide. It has found its place in many sectors such as building, transportation (automotive, railways, etc.), electrical engineering (electrical/household appliances, housings, etc.) or paper industry.
