Engineers can add minerals such as mica, clay, or calcium carbonate to plastics to tailor their conductivity, shrinkage, and mold times.
One of the popular fillers of epoxy-based polymers is the calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) filler [11,12,13,21,22,23,24,25]. The form and size of calcium carbonate as a filler vary. Many works concern nanocomposites that contain calcium nano-carbonate as an additive [11,12,23,26].
Calcium carbonate based filler additive materials have approximately 70% market share in North America, and can be added to a maximum of 20 to 25% based on fiber material. In the 1970s a shift ...
The carbonate portion of the molecule will decompose at 650-675°C to form carbon dioxide, leaving calcium oxide as a residue. In a pure CaCO3, 56% of the filler remains as ash and the remaining 44% is lost.
Precipitated calcium carbonate, fumed silica, talc and carbon black are just a few of the fillers and reinforcements used in compounding. These functional fillers and reinforcements are applied to polymer, rubber, adhesive or epoxy compounds. Their distinctive properties allow for excellent extrusion and chemical resistance.
