摘要: The effect of polymer–filler interaction on solvent swelling and dynamic mechanical properties the sol–gel derived acrylic rubber (ACM)/silica, epoxidized natural (ENR)/silica, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/silica hybrid nanocomposites has been described for first time. Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) at three different concentrations (10, 30, 50 wt %) was used as precursor in situ silica generation. Equilibrium respective solvents ambient condition showed highest volume fraction polymer swollen gel PVA/silica system least ACM/silica, with ENR/silica recording an intermediate value. Kraus constant (C) also followed a similar trend. In analysis, storage modulus dropped higher strain (>1%), which indicated disengagement segments from filler surfaces. This drop maximum ENR/silica, minimum PVA/silica, both 70 °C. theoretical (ϕ) interpreted help Power law model ΔE′ = a1ϕ, where a1 b1 primarily attachment parameter.
