THE VISCOSITY AND FLOW MECHANISM OF POLYMERS WITH DISPERSE FILLERS

Abstract : The basic practical value of introducing dis persed fillers into polymeric materials is their strengthening effect, strongly evident particularly in carbon black filled raw rubber, the durability of which drastically increases in comparison with pure raw rubber. In this connec tion much effort has been devoted to clarifying the structures of active fillers in raw rubber mixtures and the physicochemical causes of the strengthening effects. (Author)
