Interphase phenomena

This article has attempted to put spillover in perspective. At this time, there seem to be more questions than definitive conclusions. As with any newly discovered phenomenon, spillover has been used to explain a variety of phenomena on heterogeneous solids. Even if limited to interphase phenomena the picture is clouded. The influence is well documented, but the extent of the relative influence has been studied in less quantitative terms. Further, it...

Reactive distillation (RD) processes are often designed from equilibrium assumptions for chemical reactions and interphase phenomena. Equilibrium-based design leads to important implications for the feasibility of RD. However, most of the chemical reactions carried out in RD columns are kinetically controlled and they can be strongly affected by the limitations of inter- or intraphase mass- and energy-transport resistances.

This book offers scope for the rubber community to present their research and development works that have potential for industrial applications as prospective materials, technologies or exploitation guidelines. The contributions range from structural and interphase phenomena in elastomer systems and new methods of the modification of filler surface and crosslinks structure of rubber vulcanizates, to modem frmctional elastomer composites and aspects of their thermal stability, flammability, tribology and ozone degradation. Each chapter contains a brief introduction to the particular topic, a description of the experimental techniques, and discussion of the results obtained, followed by conclusions.

Concluding the thermodynamic analysis, we would like to note that all the approaches are based on the general principles of thermodynamics and they do not account for specific features of pol3oner behavior used to explain properties of polymer solutions, adsorption, mechanical properties, etc. We believe that the science of adhesion should be transformed from general and qualitative descriptions to the quantitative analysis of the interphase phenomena based on statistical theories. It is also desirable to distinguish between adhesion at various phase borders such as non-polymeric solid-polymer, polymeric adhesive-an-other polymer (in any phase or aggregate state). 

Two mechanisms of the phase separation of binary mixtures of any substances (including polymeric) are known nucleation and spinodal decomposition. Our task does not involve detailed examination of the phase separation mechanisms. When interphase phenomena in pol5Tneric composites are considered, however, these mechanisms are essential from two standpoints they govern the microphase structure of a polymer-pol5aner composite and the filler influence on the microphase structure and they also determine the mechanism of the formation of the interphase.

In this chapter, the interphase phenomena in the polymer matrix composites at the micro- and nano-scales are briefly reviewed and thdr main differences are discussed. An approach for modeling mechanical properties of continuous macroscopic bodies considering peculiarities brought about by the discrete nature of the matter at the nano-scale is proposed based on the combination of gradient strain elasticity and chain reptation dynamics.
