Magnitude Orders in the Interphase

The most frequent disposal of most of the polymer-based heterogeneous materials family takes place by the dispersed phase/matrix mode. So the dispersed phase components may be identified by the finite size of each of their domains, being surrounded by the continuous matrix. Both the size and the geometry of the particles featuring the dispersed phase together with their surface properties govern the transport phenomenon across the interphase between the dispersed particles and the continuous matrix. According to the interface approach defined in the previous section, it is obvious that the domain size and its distribution confine the interfacial volume available for effective transport flows between the matrix and the disperse phase. 

interfacial modifications are able to change the breakdown behavior of the solid particles dragged by the matrix flowing streams, for example, by lubrication, and introduce an additional experimental variability by way of
