Adhesion of filler particles

The dynamic viscosity and shear modulus of silica filled EVA were related to the work of adhesion of filler particles/ The work of adhesion depends on the particle size distribution and load of filler. The increase in particle size of filler causes an increase in work of adhesion. 

The adhesion of filler particles to the phase of polymer with the greater wetting force is higher than to the phase with smaller wetting force.
