ABSTRACT

The causes and conditions necessary for carbon black accumulation at the interface in heterogeneous binary polymer blends have been studied, and some thermodynamic and kinetic facets of the phenomenon have been elucidated. The migration of carbon black particles from a phase to the interface has been to be governed by the thermodynamics of wetting the particles by polymer phases and is affected by the thermodynamic and kinetic peculiarities of macromolecule adsorption on a solid surface.
