Abstract
A wide variety of fibrous and non-fibrous mineral materials are available to enhance properties of thermoplastic products. This enhancement may affect mechanical properties, thermal stability, electrical insulation or conductivity, fire retardance, and cost. Fibers are generally considered as reinforcements and enhance properties at higher cost. Particulate fillers generally reduce costs but can also be reinforcing with proper bonding between polymer and filler. Theory of fiber reinforcement of thermoplastics is discussed in Chapter 2.
