The quality requirements of dispersive mixing generally require that the fraction of agglomerate above a critical size be below a certain set value. For carbon black dispersion in rubber, for example, generally the requirement is that the fraction of agglomerates above 10 pm be less than 1%. In terms of distribution function the mixing time needed to meet such a...

In view of the long history of research efforts on filled rubbers, it is not surprising that the initial works on filled polymer blends appeared in publications authored by rubber compounders and carbon black vendors [17, 18]. For instance, Walters and Keyte [17] observed that the compound ingredients, such as CB and zinc oxide, were not homogenously dispersed in rubber blends. Hess et al. [18] also reported a series of fundamental observations. First, they observed that filler particles tend to remain in the lower viscosity phase, in the absence of significant filler-matrix interactions. However, in the presence of strong polar-polar interactions between the filler particles and one of the phases, the particles were found to be selectively dispersed in the more polar phase and the viscosity became less important. More recently. Portal et al. [19] also presented similar observations about selective localization of CB particles in the natural rubber (NR) phase in NR/ polybutadiene blends. 

The effect of filler structure on the rubber properties of filled rubber has been explained by the occlusion of rubber by filler aggregates (45). When stmctin-ed carbon blacks are dispersed in rubber, the polymer portion filling the internal void of the carbon black aggregates, or the polymer portion located within the irregular contours of the aggregates, is imable to participate fully in the macrodeformation. The partial immobilization in the form of occluded rubber causes this portion of rubber to behave like the filler rather than like the polymer matrix. As a result of this phenomenon, the effective volume of the filler, with regard to the stress-strain behavior and viscoelastic properties of the filled rubber, is increased considerably.

Our previous studies revealed, that low-temperature plasma causes changes to surface free energy and its component of carbon nanotubes [10]. Plasma modification is a good method of CNT purification as an amorphous carbon is eliminated from their surface during process [11]. Purifying changes properties of CNT, and affects its dispersion in rubber... 

The sort of droplet-like structure developed by Novamont (Figure 8.5) is easily dispersible in rubbers and allows a decrease of hysteresis in the final rubber compositions, which is useful for low rolling resistance treads in tyres. The first industrial application in this field was made by Goodyear in 2001, when the Biotread GT3 tyre was launched in Europe [132-136]. 

Silica particles are polar and porous (Section 1.4.6). The silica particles show not only significant interparticle van der Waals forces, but also strong polar and dipole bonds. This results in much higher viscosities than in carbon black compounds (Eq. 8.3) and more complex rheological properties generally. Silica compounds are hard to process and silica agglomerates are difficult to disperse in rubber matrices [ 12]. The surface of silica is hydrophilic, which is incompatible with oleophilic rubber matrices. There has been much research on breakup of silica agglomerates [13 to 20].
