Rs. Popovic et al., THE RESOLUTION OF NATURAL-RUBBER (NR) POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE (MQ) BINARY BLEND PROPERTIES BY STRESS-STRAIN MODELING, Kautschuk und Gummi, Kunststoffe, 49(12), 1996, pp. 826-830
In this work the large deformation stress properties of elastomers are
used in extension as a basis for modelling blend behaviour This model
ling procedure is applied in NR/MQ elastomer blend, in which a dispers
ed phase (MQ) is of lower modulus than the matrix (NR). The phases are
mechanically coupled in a simple parallel manner. The modelling techn
ique showed that curative migration increases the modulus of the NR ph
ase by a factor of one and half.
