Research abstract

ORGANIC BIODEGRADABLE FILLERS ARE MANUFACTURED TO OPTIMIZE PARTICLE SHAPE FOR REINFORCEMENT VALUE IN POLYETHYLENE. FILLER IS ALSO "SURFACE MODIFIED" TO ENHANCE COMPATIBILITY AND BOND STRENGTH AT THE FILLER-POLYMER INTERFACE. THREE DIFFERENT PARTICLE SIZE FILLERS ARE USED IN POLYMER SUBSTITUTION RATES OF 10, 20, 30, AND 40% DURING COMPOUNDING. OPTIMUM COMPOUNDING AND MOLDING CONDITIONS AREDETERMINED AS A FUNCTION OF TENSILE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. THIS RESEARCH IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE COMPATIBLITY AND PRODUCT PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS CURRENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH ORGANIC FILLERS USED IN PLASTICS TO IMPROVE BIODEGRADABILITY.
