Abstract

Summary: The mechanisms involved in rubber reinforcement are discussed. A better molecular understanding of these mechanisms can be obtained by combining characterization of the mechanical behavior with an analysis of the chain segmental orientation accompanying deformation. While the strain dependence of the stress is the most common quantity used to assess the effect of filler addition, experimental determination of segmental orientation can be used to quantify the interfacial interactions between the elastomeric matrix and the mineral inclusions.

## Abstract **Summary:** A theoretical model describing aggregation of filler particles in amorphous elastomers is proposed. The model is based on a counting technique originally used in genome analysis to characterize the size and distribution of overlapping segments randomly placed on a DNA molec
