Structural aspects of the formation of a critical defect in the polymer dispersion-filled composites

, ,

Abstract:

It is shown that the change in structure of the aggregates of filler particles in the polymer composites can affect the critical dimension of a structural defect, and therefore the strength of these materials. Introduction particulate filler in the polymer can lead to an effect similar to “multiple crazing” in kauchukonapolnennyh polymers. This effect does not reduce the ductility of the composite, but greatly increases its strength.
