Abstract
The rheological properties of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and its composites with unmodified and stearic acid-modified calcium carbonate (5, 10, 20, 30 wt.%) were investigated. The processability factor K of the composites was determined based on changes in the mass flow rate (MFR). The assessment of rheological properties was carried out at high shear rates, in the injection process, using a special on-line measuring head. Measurements were performed at a temperature of 230°C, in the range of apparent shear rate from 19,100 to 101,900 s-1, based on the Ostwald-de Waele power-law model. It has been shown that the behavior of polymer composites during processing (flow resistance, flow, and viscosity curves, MFR) depends on the degree of filling, the type of filler used and the range of shear rates.
