In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites reinforced with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were fabricated via melt extrusion followed by compression molding. Surface modification of HNTs was conducted using polyethyleneimine (PEI) and PN40 to improve interfacial interaction and dispersion of HNTs within the PLA matrix.

Mechanical Recycling of Silicone Rubber: Influence of Particle Size and Quantity
Silicone rubbers of three different hardnesses were ground into particles and used as fillers in a liquid silicone rubber matrix, whereby the particle size and quantity varied. The mechanical properties were only slightly altered by the addition of ground particles and showed the general possibility of mechanical silicone recycling.
