Can the strain hardening exponent be above one for a plastic product ( polypropylene with 2% of carbon black ) using a tensile test. and what is its interpretation?
Some members of my group designed some polymers to have a large strain hardening factor (SHF>1000). They used a rotational rheometer for their uniaxial deformation experiments on polystyrene comb polymers.
Maybe their work can help you explaining your data (Article Comb and Branch‐on‐Branch Model Polystyrenes with Exceptiona...
). It's a different system, but maybe PP chains bound to carbon black act somehow similar as PS chains bound to each other by a chemical bond.
