Abstract
Microdeformation in thin films of rubber modified poly(methyl methacry late) has been investigated using TEM. The effects of two-layer core-s hell particles with rubbery cores, and three-layer particles with glas sy cores are compared. While the former undergo relatively coarse cavi tation and may act to block fibril drawing in matrix crazes, the rubbe r shell of the three-layer particles tends to fibrillate, and they are readily incorporated in the crazes.
