✦ Synopsis
By the use of simple n~odela of filled plastics, approxiinat c equatioiis are derived for the elongation to break in the case of perfect adhaion between the phases and for the tensile strength in the case of no adhesion between the polymer and filler phases. By combining these equations with equations for the modulus (assuming Hookean behavior) all the stress-strain properties can be derived, including rough estimates of the impact strength, as a function of filler concentration. Among other things, the theory predicts a very rapid decrease in elongation to break as filler concentration increases, especially for the case of good adhesion. I t is also predicted for the case of good adhesion that the tensile strength of a filled polymer can be greater than that of an unfilled polymer.

The incorporation of multilayer toughness modifiers to glassy polymers proceeds frequently by kneading the polymers in a molten state. This process influences the primary structure of the modifier and the properties of the blend in dependence on a shear stress intensity. In this article, we compare
