Influence of Fibrous and Solid Fillers on the Rheological and the Surface Properties of Polymer Composition

The influence of fibrous and solid granulated fillers on the rheological and surface properties of the polymer compositions on the basis of polyvinyl alcohol and Na-carboxymethyl cellulose is demonstrated. The polymer complexes with Na-carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium tetraborate additions and the compositions filled with polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate and quartz sand are obtained and comparative assessment of the properties of studied polymer composites have been made. Polymer compositions with quartz sand, synthetic and plant fibrous fillers increase the effective viscosity, elasticity modulus and decrease the adhesive strength of all compositions based well on carboxymethyl cellulose and polyvinyl alcohol. The sodium tetraborate introduction promotes the formation of the composites surface with the lesser adhesive strength.
