Structure and properties of TLCP/polymer composites

In this study, a CaCO3 filled PEN composite was blended with a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LC5000). The scope of this research focuses on the development and characterization of a ternary polymer blend system comprising of PEN, LC 5000 and CaCO3. The pre-blended polymer blend was extrud...

Description
Summary:In this study, a CaCO3 filled PEN composite was blended with a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LC5000). The scope of this research focuses on the development and characterization of a ternary polymer blend system comprising of PEN, LC 5000 and CaCO3. The pre-blended polymer blend was extruded through a capillary die, followed by a series of rheological, morphological and mechanical characterization.
