Abstract

The theoretical description of mechanical properties of heterogeneous materials has been a subject of investigation of several authors in last few years. The interest in this field is involved by technological importance of composite polymeric materials like polymer blends, filled polymers and block copolymers. Blending of polymers is usually used to improve properties and processability of materials. On the other hand most of polymers that are considered to be chemically homogeneous become physically heterogeneous when considered on a microscopic scale. An example is the coexistence of crystalline and amorphous regions in most crystallizing polymers.
