      in the Form of Montmorillonite and Aluminum Hydroxide.

AB  - This paper presents the effect of the addition of fillers such as aluminum 
      hydroxide or montmorillonite on the structure and properties of polymers such as 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Both types 
      of specimens were obtained by injection molding. X-ray diffraction examinations 
      were performed on the materials obtained to determine the effect of the addition 
      of the fillers used on the degree of crystallinity of the composites. The density 
      and hardness of the composites were evaluated, and the static tensile test and 
      the analysis of the structure parameters using atomic force microscopy (AFM) were 
      also carried out. It was shown that the addition of powder fillers to polymers 
      such as high-density polyethylene and polybutylene terephthalate affects the 
      structure parameters such as surface roughness, mean grain size, anisotropy 
      ratio, fractal dimension, the corner frequency of the composites, and mechanical 
      properties such as Young's pseudo-modulus, average adhesion force, hardness, and 
      tensile strength.
