Abstract

A novel simultaneous milling and coating method which utilizes a fluid energy mill (FEM) is applied for the first time to prepare nanoparticle-coated CaCO₃ additives for polymer composite materials. Simply milled (without coating) CaCO₃ particles and as-received CaCO₃ particles were used as references for comparison. The effects of the grinding pressure and the content of the coating on the particle size and flowability of CaCO₃ were studied. The composites made of PP and this specially prepared CaCO₃ have larger elongation at break, elastic modulus and impact strength, compared to the simply milled calcium carbonate filled samples.
