Popis: Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) filler particles were surface treated with organic titanate (TTS), a coupling agent. The composites were prepared by blending low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with the surface-modified fillers at various weight ratios. Ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA) was added to improve the adhesion of LDPE to fillers. A capillary rheometer was used to evaluate rheological properties of the LDPE/CaCO3/EAA blends. The blends were shown to be pseudoplastic with shear thinning behavior. When CaCO3 was modified by TTS (
