Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, bentonite, polymer composites,thermoplastic polymers, polymer processing

The enhancement of rheological, thermal, and physical, properties of acrylonitrilebutadiene-styrene polymers is still great interest of researches due to the numerousapplications. In this study, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymer matrix and bentonitewere mixed for preparation of composites. The composite productions were managed bymeans of co-rotating twin-screw micro-compounder and the injection-molding devicewas used in order to obtaining specimens.The feeding compositions of bentonite particles were chosen 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%respectively. The characterizations of prepared composites were done mechanically,thermally, and rheological manner by tensile test, impact test, melt flow indexmeasurement, dynamic mechanical analysis and scanning electron microscopy methods.
