The “sandwich” model of the amorphous material in semicrystalline polymers, block copolymers and filled or reinforced elastomers

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A theoretical model of the amorphous material in semi crystalline polymers, block copolymers and filled or reinforced elastomers is presented. The model consists of a dense system of bridges, loops, cilia and floating chains ‘sandwiched’ between a pair of parallel walls. A prescription is given for determining the total free energy of the model.
