Abstract:
The addition of an inorganic component to polymers leads to improvements in various physical and mechanical properties. Various examples on filled elastomeric networks will show that a mechanical characterization can be nicely combined with a spectroscopic investigation for a better understanding of the properties of the composite materials.
