Purpose: Researches, which are presented in this paper, consider the effect of chosen different weight ratios polycarbonate blended in a polypropylene matrix (PP/PC) at variable injection moulding conditions and its effect on the microstructure, and also on fracture and flexural properties. Design/methodology/approach: Composites contain between 0 and 30 wt% of polycarbonate and changes at constant rate of 10wt%. Specimens were produced with advantage of melt manipulation technology, further called as non-conventional injection moulding technique (SCORIM). Then, the results were compared with conventional injection moulding, as a result of comparison structure development and mechanical behaviour. Fracture and flexural tests were done on universal testing machine-Instron. The structure sample appearance was observed in polarized light microscope. Findings: PC addition influence on energy absorption and flexural modulus. There are also visible microstructure changes. The SCORIM technique have a significant influence on mechanical properties. Higher settings of those processing variables give higher values of energy at break and flexural modulus. Research limitations/implications: Further work contains research of termomechanical indices to establish straightforward connection between mechanical properties and processing set-ups. Other mechanical properties will be assessed. Practical implications: The improvement of mechanical response is clearly visible by using SCORIM technique and increasing a percentage polycarbonate volume. Originality/value: The Shear Controlled Injection Moulding technique is based on the in-mould shear melt manipulation during the solidification phase. This technology is very important for morphology manipulation and the improvement on the mechanical polymer system properties.
