Influence of mica and talc fillers on the properties of rotationally moulded lldpe

摘要

This paper describes the results from an investigation of the effects of talc and mica on the properties of rotationally moulded Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE). This work concentrates on the effects of the particle sizes and the types of coupling agent. Results show that introducing finer grades of talc and mica improves the impact strength. It has also been found that a maleic anhydride modified polyethylene can achieve better overall properties than a titanate-coupling agent.
