ABSTRACT
The aggregation of the initial nanofiller disperse particles is more or less large particles aggregates always occurs in the course of technological process of making particulatefilled polymer composites in general [1] and elastomer composites in particular [2]. The aggregation process acts on composites (nanostructured composites) macroscopic properties [1, 3]. For composites a process of nanofiller aggregation gains a special significance, since its intensity can be the one, that nanofiller particles aggregates size exceeds 100 nm – the value, which assumes (although and conditionally enough [4]) as an upper nanoscale limit for nanoparticle. In other words, the aggregation process can result to the situation, when primordially supposed nanostructured composite ceases to be the one. Therefore, at present several methods exist, which allowed to suppress nanoparticles aggregation process [2, 5]. Proceeding from this, in the present paper theoretical treatment of disperse nanofiller aggregation process in butadienestyrene rubber matrix within the frameworks of irreversible aggregation models was carried out.
