I was doing a mixing of a natural fiber filler in a elastomer matrix before the mixing size 200 nm and after mixing i found the fiber particle size was reduced to 50 nm(With respect to SEM analysis) what may be the reason kindly suggest with reference.
Mixing on a two roll mill? If so then there is a possibility of size reduction.
Hello,
I have provided the comprehensive summary of the filler addition into the Pineapple leaf fibre based composites, in that I have provided the method of mixing alongwith the fibre size obtained.
So, I request you to read the following paper-

Generally, shear induced filler size reduction can be expected when the fillers are mixed with polymer by shear force/kinetic energy. The shear can induce defilbrations (if it is fibers), breakages (if it is fibers), less aggregation of the fillers, etc., For your reference you can read this article Article Influence of Processing Parameters on the Impact Strength of...
