Interphase effects in development of microheterogeneity in multi-component polymer systems

The Use of Dispersed Active Fillers for Controlling Wear Resistance of Thermosetting Plastics

“…In the boundary layer, the density, the molecular mobility, and the properties associated with them change non-linearly through its thickness. Lipatov [3] established considerable increase in the density of polymers in thin adsorption layers, which then change into a layer with a looser packing and with a density lower than in the bulk of the polymer. The ratio of the contributions of these formations of different density in many ways determines the properties of the composite.…”

“…The opinions of researchers concerning the network structure in the boundary layers are at odds. Both an increase in its defectiveness [3] and an increase in the lability and thixotropy of the system [4] are possible. In any case, the effect of the fi ller appears most strongly on the molecular level.…”
