Abstract
Young's modulus, yield stress, tensile elongation at break, and tensile impact strength of filled polyethylene have been studied as a function of the content of two types of filler: Kaolin and calcium carbonate. Scanning electron microscopy proved that the kaolin particles are bonded to the polyethylene by means of polymer links, while similar links for calcium carbonate have not been detected.Keywords
