Origin of Nonlinear Viscoelasticity in Filled Rubbers: Theory and Practice

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Non-Linear Viscoelasticity of Rubber Composites and Nanocomposites

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 264))

Abstract

The present chapter is written as an introduction towards this book on nonlinear viscoelasticity of rubber composites and nanocomposites. Rather than introducing the concept of the book to the readers this chapter reveals the basics behind rubber viscoelasticity and explains both linearity and nonlinearity from this behavior. Various filler reinforced rubbers are introduced emphasising the flow behavior of such nanocomposites. Major mathematical models proposed by Kraus, Huber and Vilgis and Maier and Goritz for the ‘Payne Effect’ are briefly addressed based on the filler matrix interactions existing in the composite systems.
