Evaluation On Flow Behaviour Of Polypropylene/Kaolin Composites At High Shear Stress

Evaluation On Flow Behaviour Of Polypropylene/Kaolin Composites At High Shear Stress

In this study, Polypropylene (PP)/kaolin composite was compounded on a heated two roll-mill prior to testing via capillary rheometer in order to improve the rheological properties of the samples. Whereas, the extrudate from melt flow indexer (MFI) were analyzed to calculate their melt densities. The...
