Composites with recycled rubber aggregates: Properties and opportunities in construction (2018, background): “For instance, highly polar silica does not interact well with a non-polar elastomer [Kohls 2002].”
Morphological, thermal and tensile properties of halloysite nanotubes filled ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) nanocomposites (2008, unknown): “[33] have reported that the most important effect of filler– rubber interaction has to do with the occlusion of rubber which is trapped between or within aggregates of filler.”
Effective properties of carbon black filled natural rubber: Experiments and modeling (2008, background): “Due to the branched structure of the aggregate, part of the rubber is trapped inside the aggregate and is shielded frommacroscopic deformation [3]; the occluded rubber forms with carbon black particles the core of the aggregates and its main contribution is to lead to an effective filler volume frac”
