An experimental study of mixing of various particulates into synthetic elastomers and polypropylene is presented. For the elastomers, a batch internal mixer and a commercial continuous mixer were used to disperse various small particles including silica, carbon black, and CaCO 3 . For the polypropylene, this same continuous mixer plus a Buss Kneader, co-rotating twin screw extruder and an intermeshing counter-rotating twin screw extruder with different modular screw configurations were used to follow the dispersion of CaCO 3 . The breakage of glass fibers in these machines was also followed. Generally the most severe breakage of agglomerates and glass fiber was by modular intermeshing counter-rotating screws with special Leistritz elements. A model was developed for breakdown of agglomerates and fibers. The agreement with experiment was promising.
