Original abstract
Polymeric particulate composites with thermoplastics, especially polypropylene (PP) matrix with mineral fillers, are of great practical importance due to their simple possibility of modifying mechanical properties and reducing the price/volume ratio of the resulting material. Both filler properties and interface properties have a great effect on the mechanical properties, primarily on stiffness and toughness, of the resulting composite material. Good final dispersion of the filler particles also plays a very important role. To reach the best adhesion and distribution of the particles, various procedures are carried out for activation of the particles. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate and discuss the effect of using plasma as a tool for treating commercially available CaCO3 nanoparticles in PP matrix.
Czech abstract
Tento článek se zabývá polymerními kompozity plněnými minerálními částicemi. Tento materiál má velký praktický význam vzhledem k možnosti velmi jednoduše měnit mechanické vlastnosti díky minerálnímu plnivu a tím i snižovat cenu výsledného kompozitního materiálu. Ukazuje se, že právě mechanické vlastnosti jsou přímo závislé na kvalitě rozhraní částice-matrice. Pro dosažení co nejlepší přilnavosti částic se provádějí různé postupy pro aktivaci částic. Cílem tohoto článku je tedy zkoumat a diskutovat působení plazmy jako nástroje pro ošetření nanočástic v komerčně dostupném kompozitním materiálu CaCO3.
