Immiscible Rubber Blends

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Elastomers I

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 11))

Abstract

Most polymer blends are thermodynamically immiscible, leading to a phase-segregated morphology. Control of this morphology, including the domain sizes and interfacial regions, along with partitioning of compounding ingredients such as filler and curatives between the phases, provides opportunities for achieving properties that are otherwise unattainable. This chapter reviews fundamental aspects of phase-separated rubber blends, with a survey of the important literature on the topic.
