Oligomer absorption and calculation of the maximum content of dispersed particles in dispersed filled polymer composites
The paper presents a method for determining the maximum content of dispersed filler (φm) in dispersed-filled polymer composite materials (DFPCM) by oligomer-absorption. For the first time, data on the values of the parameter φm in the DNPCM obtained from oligomer- (Y, g/100 g) and oil absorption method (X, g/100 g) are presented. The dependences of the parameter φm on the particles size for fillers with a particle size from 50nm to 250 microns are presented. It is shown, that the main advantage of using the new method for determining the parameter φm is the possibility to bring the dispersed system closer to the real conditions for DFPCM production and thus, to increase the reliability of the results.
