附：英文翻译英文原文Effects of mineral ?llers on polystyrene melt processingJ. Lou?, V. HarinathAbstractThe recycling of thermoplastics containing mineral ?llers represents great technological challenges in the waste management in the plastics industry. Several mineral-?lled polystyrene samples were prepared and their morphological and melt processing properties were studied with respect to the processing conditions and mineral loadings. The results should provide insights that are needed to solve complex issues encountered in the industry dealing with the recycling of this important class of materials.? 2004 Elsevier B.V.

The processing of these materials is strongly dependent on the particle–particle and particle–polymer interactions. In recent years considerable research efforts have been made toward more fundamental understanding of the rheological behavior of highly ?lled polymeric material systems. While mineral ?llers are widely used in thermoplastics as ways to produce cost-effective, strong, and energy ef?cient materials, they are the source of many problems in waste management when these materials enter the waste stream after their intended end uses. The polymers are not readily broken down by the natural elements in the environment or in waste management infrastructures such as composting to become a part of the biological carbon cycle of our ecosystem. This results in an irreversible buildup of these materials in the environment, causing scarring of landscapes, fouling of beaches, and a serious hazard to marine life. Since most of these plastics are not biodegradable,recycling and reprocessing often represent the best option for their waste management. Because these thermoplastics materials contain not only the polymer resins which are often thermoplastic and reproccessable, b
