By employing the radical polymerization method, acrylonitrile (AN) was grafted on the surface of nano titanium dioxide (TiO2), and the calcium sulfate whisker (CSW) was modified using the coupling agent KH570 to provide ultraviolet (UV)-absorption capacity. The prepared TiO2-PAN and CSW-PAN materials can improve the anti-aging performance and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) and meet the application requirements of high-performance polypropylene. Further, the obtained PP composites show prolonged service life and application scope, which can effectively reduce white waste and avoid both resource waste and environmental pollution.
