ABSTRACT:
Micron-sized High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) particles were coated with ultrathin
alumina (Al2O3) films in a Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) by Atomic Layer Deposition
(ALD) at 77 ºC. Al2O3 films on the HDPE particles were confirmed by different
methods. These particles were extruded conventionally with the ceramic shells
mixing intimately in the polymer matrix. The successful dispersion of the Al2O3 shells
in the polymer matrix following extrusion was confirmed using cross sectional
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
