Particulate filled polymer composites are becoming attractive because of their wide applications and
low cost. In this study the effects of mica with
varying concentration on the mechanical, thermal,
electrical, rheological and morphological properties of
polyester thermoplastic elastomer (Hytrel®)
was investigated. Composites of Hytrel® with varying
concentrations (viz. 5 to 40 weight %) of mica
were prepared by twin screw extrusion. Mechanical
properties such as flexural strength and modulus
were found to increase with mica concentration, whereas
tensile strength was found to decrease at
higher concentrations. Electrical and thermal
properties of composite were found to increase with filler
concentration. Morphological studies revealed that
there is a good dispersion of filler in the polymer
matrix at lower concentrations.
