In a method for compounding a polymer with a filler, the filler and the solid polymer are comminuted together mechanically. Talc used as the filler and polyethylene are ground together in solid state so that reactive or adhesive moieties are released from inside the talc, which react with reactive and adhesive moieties formed of the polyethylene in the same grinding. In the manufacture of a compos...
