Fillers modulus function during

Expected variation of modulus function during filler loading and vulcanization. [Pg.126]

As discussed in Chapter 10, a wide variety of additives is used in the polymer industry. Stabilizers, waxes, and processing aids reduce degradation of the polymer during processing and use. Dyes and pigments provide the many hues that we observe in synthetic fabrics and molded articles, such as household containers and toys. Functional additives, such as glass fibers, carbon black, and metakaolins can improve dimensional stability, modulus, conductivity, or electrical resistivity of the polymer. Fillers can reduce the cost of the final part by replacing expensive resins with inexpensive materials such as wood flour and calcium carbonate. The additives chosen will depend on the properties desired. [Pg.231]

Simulations on Fiiiers. Monte Carlo computer simulations have been carried out on a variety of filled elastomers (337-339) in an attempt to obtain a better molecular interpretation of how such dispersed phases reinforce elastomers. The approach taken enabled estimation of the effect of the excluded volume of the filler particles on the network chains and on the elastic properties of the networks. In the first step, distribution functions for the end-to-end vectors of the chains were obtained by applying Monte Carlo methods to rotational isomeric state representations of the chains (226). Conformations of chains that overlapped with any filler particle during the simulation were rejected. The resulting perturbed distributions were then used in the three-chain elasticity model (2) to obtain the desired stress—strain isotherms in elongation. These isotherms showed substantial increases in stress and modulus with the increase in filler content and elongation that are in at least quahtative agreement with the experiment. [Pg.792]
