Polymer processes

A process in accordance with claim 2 wherein said additive is selected in an amount of from about 5 to about 20 weight percent based on the weight percent total of said polymer and said additive.

A substantially dust free process for the preparation of polymers with additives which process comprises subjecting a mixture of polymers and an additive to mechanical energy of from about 1 to about 20 kilowatt hours per kilogram and an intensity of from about 20 to about 90 kilowatts per kilogram, and wherein said subjecting is accomplished until said additives are embedded in said polymers.

A substantially dust free process for the preparation of carrier particles which comprises subjecting a mixture of a polymer, a conductive component, and an additive to mechanical energy of from about 1 to about 20 kilowatt hours per kilogram and an intensity of from about 20 to about 90 kilowatts per kilogram, and thereafter applying the polymer product obtained to a carrier core.

A substantially dust free process for the preparation of polymers with additives consisting of subjecting a mixture of polymers and an additive to a mechanical energy of from about 1 to about 20 kilowatt hours per kilogram and an intensity of from about 20 to about 90 kilowatts per kilogram, and wherein said subjecting is accomplished until said additives are embedded in said polymers.
