Abstract

In this work, the rheological properties of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS)/wood composites were investigated using a capillary rheometer. The present composites with different ratios of ABS and wood were prepared by means of an internal bath mixer. The viscosity of the composites that were pseudo plastics in deformation manner increased with increasing amount of wood particles. In addition, the flow activation energy of the composites increased with increasing amount of wood particles.
