Rheology-Morphology Interrelationships for Nanocomposites based on Polymer Matrices

The main focus of this Chapter was targeted on novel approaches to compatibility of particles with polymer matrices and detail analysis of rheology-morphology interrelationships. Rather attractive method of mixing based on knowledge of rheological behavior of polymers at high shear rates was proposed and studied. The major fraction of ND around...
