Abstract
Natural mineral fillers for polymer composites have frequently been investigated as cheap and easily obtainable alternatives to carbon nanotubes or synthetic short fibres. In this paper we have investigated a natural product from a deposit located in Poland and containing halloysite clay and ferromagnetic particles as main components. In order to assess the homogeneity and possible application fields of polyethylene-based composites prepared from these materials, the composites were evaluated by studying their melt rheology, mechanical properties, wetting, magnetic properties and surface morphology. 13 Refs.
