Application of magnetic resonance spectroscopies to the characterisation of elastomer/filler systems

Contribution of the magnetic resonance spectroscopies to the determination not only of the chemical structure but also of the dynamics of the polymer chains is examined. Analysis of such complex systems involves different aspects. Questions as: the nature of the crosslinking via sulfur bridges, presence of additives, influence of the heat treatments, behaviour under strain, analysis of the interphase … are considered. A part is devoted to the dynamic behaviour of the chains in the interphase elastomer/filler.
