Abstract
Fillers are no longer just added to polymers to reduce costs, but are increasingly enhancing properties of the compound. Calcium carbonate, talc, clay, mica, wollastonite and glass fibre are all widely used in polymer compounding operations. However, there are some lesser well known fillers that can provide some useful properties in polymers. Dr. Chris DeArmitt and Professor Roger Rothon explain.
