Long glass fiber‐reinforced polypropylene composites were prepared using self‐designed impregnation device. Effects of the different injection temperature on mechanical properties, crystallization, thermal, and dynamic mechanical properties of long glass fiber‐reinforced polypropylene composites were discussed. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicate that the melting peak temperature of PP/LGF composites gradually reduced, however, the crystallinity of PP/LGF composites gradually increased with increasing injection temperature. Thermo‐gravimetric analyzer (TGA) results demonstrate that with increasing injection temperature, the temperature of the PP/LGF composites melt increased, the viscosity of the PP/LGF composites melt lowered, the mold filling of the PP/LGF composites melt was easy, the shear force of glass fiber was relatively low, which made the residual length of glass fiber in products increase. Dynamic thermal mechanical analyzer (DMA) results show that the storage modulus of PP/LGF composites is the highest while the injection temperature is at 290°C, and the peak value of tan σ of PP /LGF composites at 290°C is minimal, which indicates that the mechanical properties of PP /LGF composites at 290°C is the best. What' more, the injection temperature at 290°C significantly ameliorated “glass fiber rich skin” of products of glass fiber‐reinforced composites. J. VINYL ADDIT.
