The self-conducting polymers that are available at preserlt do not as yet have adequate stability and it is necessary to develop filled electrically conductive plastics to overcome this An electrically conductive network of f’i llcr particles problem. in the polymer matrix is essential f’or a proper functioning of’ these new materials. The physical conditions and problems involved in the formation of’ such a network arc discussed in the way in which the conduct.ive this article, particularly filler particles are distributed and also the contacting of Basic propositions f’or a these particles with one another. solution of these problems are indicated.

This paper reports the basic idea of an APP-I,‘iller Masterbatch Technique developed in China, and used widely in the plastics industry of China. The rheological aspects of th’s technique are presented. Systemat?.c observations on the rheological behaviour and the norphology 01’ a series of’ f’illcd and blended polymers fabricated by APP-[‘MB Tech. are made, including dif’ferent conbinations of various APP treated particles (calcium carbonate, sponites, red mud, wood f’lour , etc. ) and polymers (PP, PVC ) rubbers 1. It is shown that filler particles arc well bonded to the atactic polypropylc7e in the f’l I led and blended sys terns, and this improves the processing propertj es. The viscosity for all the filled polymer systems mentioned -is not sensitive to the filler concentration. Intern.
