  • Does single filler improve thermal and mechanical properties of HDPE composite materials?
  • The results of these study show that single filler has a positive effect on both thermal and mechanical properties of HDPE composite materials and each filler has a specific feature to contribute to improvements of such properties.
  • Does filler loading affect tensile flexural and Izod impact strengths?
  • Sequentially, improvements in tensile, flexural and Izod impact strengths as a function of fillers loading in the HDPE matrix have been reported.
  • Do silica fillers affect HDPE properties?
  • Dorigato et al. [ 20, 21] investigated the effect of silica fillers on the properties of HDPE, especially the thermo-mechanical properties, and they recorded a more prominent effect in the polymer matrix with a high surface area of filler.
  • Can dolomite be used as a filler in a recycled polypropylene matrix?
  • Research by Syed Bakar et al. highlights the use of dolomite as a filler in a recycled polypropylene matrix (rPP). The composites were prepared via a Z-blade mixer with dolomite loading of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% [ 71 ]. The dolomite was sieved into two different sizes, which were 63 µm and 300 µm.
  • Can fillers be uniformly distributed in a polymer matrix?
  • Smaller size fillers can also be uniformly distributed and dispersed in the matrix. This is in agreement with the results of other research studies involving polymer composites incorporating other types of mineral fillers, such as bentonite and fumed silica [ 72, 73 ].
  • How does the size of a filler affect a polymer composite?
  • The size of the filler has a great influence on the properties of the polymer composite. Typically, fillers with smaller size particles are preferred over larger ones because their surface area is larger [ 30, 31, 32 ].
