The objectives of this study are to determine the effects of particles size and surface treatment of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) on the mechanical and thermal properties of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/poly(vinyl chloride) (ABS/PVC) (80:20) blends. The results showed GCC increased flexural mod...
