Maron-Pierce equation

Equation 2.27 is an empirical equation that is a simple modification of the Maron-Pierce equation for dispersions of spherical rigid solids ... 

Equation 34 is also referred to as the Maron-Pierce-Kitano model (55, 80-83). 

One of the best available empirical expressions which fits the entire range of volume fraction, is the Maron-Pierce type equation that was... 

In Figures 6.3, 6.5-6.9, the x-axis is not normalized though this is a common practice to be followed if a theoretical equation fit of the Maron-Pierce [97] type is sought as shown in Figure 6.10. The simplest one parameter equation which has been evaluated [21,22], and tested extensively [71,72] is given as... 

A graphical solution for all maxima and minima has been determined by Pierce and Maron [93] who, together with Elder [94,95] extended equations (10.21) and (10.22) beyond the Rayleigh-Gans region, (ffj - 1 0) to 1.00 < /M < 1.55, deriving the following formulae ... 

Fillers usually enhance the viscosity of the polymer melts. The viscosity of these systems depends not only on the characteristics of the melt but also to a great extent on the nature and volume of the filler. Several empirical relationships have been proposed between the viscosity of the melt and that of the melt filled with noninteractive particles for Newtonian flow. Among them, the empirical equation of Maron and Pierce (55) stands out ...
