Incompatibility of dispersed fillers of different structures with a non-polar polymer matrix

Abstract

Polymer materials also have a number of significant disadvantages, such as fragility, aging, low thermal conductivity, sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, insufficient surface rigidity and hardness, creep, flammability, and a tendency to accumulate static electricity. To improve certain characteristics, fillers, enhancers, stabilizers, antioxidants, and other additives are added to polymers. The introduction of certain fillers not only improves the properties of the final product, but also reduces the cost of raw materials and production processes, which leads to increased economic efficiency. In addition, the use of environmentally friendly fillers obtained from natural resources helps to reduce the negative impact on the environment.
