synopsisThe effect of various inorganic fillers on the storage modulus of four elastomers was determined experimentally. Results are interpreted using the Kerner equation, modified to include a parameter, B, in the volume fraction terms. This factor combines particle size and specific interaction effects, and in theory can be evaluated from energy dissipation measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
