Effect of Screw Rotation Speed on Mechanical Properties and Morphology of Abs/Mcc Composites

<p>Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) polymer is an example of a thermoplastic that requires heat in its production process. ABS also can be modified to increase strength against resistance, toughness, and resistance by adding MCC as reinforcement composites. Extrusion one the established methods processing with filler consequently disperses inside polymer. Different speed shows different behavior dispersion. Therefore, this study was conducted know effect extruder screw variations on mechanical, physical, thermal stability ABS/MCC The compositions used producing composites are 96% for 4% MCC. process uses 10 rpm, 15 20 rpm. composite barrel hot press use 160 °C temperature highest tensile obtained at rpm variation 14.2 MPa. Increasing causes decrease content attached which reduces mechanical strength. density value decreased increased speed, evidenced increasing number voids formed based SEM testing.</p>
