Application of the reduced concentration principle to filled polymers 3. Polyolefins

The reduced concentration principle is used to construct generalized modulus of elasticity vs filler content dependences for filled polyolefins that are invariant relative to the nature and surface of the filler. If the change in crystallinity associated with filling is taken into account, the master curve for filled low-density polyethylene can be reduced to the Smallwood-Guth equation.
