“…Compared with an isolated chain, a chain in a network will be entangled and cross-linked with its neighbors. The entanglements and cross links of network chains will restrain the movement and deformation of each chain, leading to a more stable and recoverable structure. , A well-known reinforcing filler, carbon black, also forms aggregate networks in filled rubber. ,, The filler network also plays an important role in enhancing the elastic behavior of filled elastomers. A better understanding of the nanoscale mechanical properties of the aggregate filler itself, such as the breaking force, tensile strength, Young's modulus, and the dynamic behavior of the aggregate networks, may help to explain the reinforcing mechanism of the fillerâelastomer nanocomposite system.…”
