MODIFIED POLYMER MATERIALS INCORPORATING BOEHMITE PARTICLES AND NOVEL BOEHMITE PARTICLES

摘要

This invention relates to a modified polymer material having a polymer base and needle-shaped boehmite particles dispersed therein. The needle-shaped particles have an aspect ratio of at least 3: I wherein aspect ratio is the ratio of the longest dimension to the next largest dimension. Boehmite particles having the above I specified needle shape are novel.
