Preparation of filled polymer systems

  • Chapter
Book cover Rheology of Filled Polymer Systems

Abstract

In context with the preparation of filled polymer systems, there are three terms, namely, compounding, blending and mixing, which are often synonymously or interchangeably used and though various researchers have defined these terms, one is at times faced with the dilemma of terminology [1]. In the present case, definitions of the terms are given as applicable to the subject matter and hence exclude any other connotations of the terms.
