Rheological properties reaction mechanisms

The reinforcement by fillers increases as the filler concentration increases since the reinforcing mechanism is related to the presence of active sites on the filler surface which are available for reaction or interaction with matrix polymer. But this increase is limited by the effect a filler has on the rheological properties of a mixed material. There is a certain filler concentration above which the reinforcing effect of the dispersed filler is lost. Carbon black can serve as a simple example. Acetylene black has many useful properties but it cannot be used effectively for reinforcement because its structure does not permit high loadings whereas some furnace blacks can be loaded to high concentrations. 

Aspects that are generally treated in texts on food chemistry are for the most part left out an example is the mechanism and kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Some subjects are not fully treated, such as rheological and other mechanical properties, since this would take very much space, and several books on the subject exist.

Plasticizers are blended with polyurethanes, PU, to regulate their rheological, thermal, and mechanical properties. " Plasticizers are used in PU synthesis to lower viscosity of reaction medium and to dissolve reaction components (e.g., aromatic diamines). ... 

Emnlsion polymerisation is influenced by system turbulence due to its heterogeneous nature. System effective agitation is necessary to keep the particles in dispersed phase, to prevent flocculation, to improve mass and heat transfer, phenomena that influence the reaction mechanism and kinetics as well as the final product properties and the properties of the product based on achieved latex. The influence of agitation on properties of the product using the obtained latex is presented, with emphasis on viscosity and rheological behaviour. Also presented is the influence of system initial rheology scaling up. 18 refs.
