Abstract

Reiner [1] defines rheology as a science that treats body deformation and flow. Founders of modern rheology consider deformation of mainly solid bodies, regarding them as homogeneous continuous media. The present study focuses on the rheological behaviour of filled polymers, where the filler affects not only material exploitation characteristics, but essentially determines its fabrication into a final product. A combination of the characteristics of the dispersed medium with those of the filler-formed structure is the basis of the rheology of filled polymers. Those systems may display different properties, depending on medium viscosity and strength of the structure skeleton of the filler. Modern rheology is dominated by two main problems; Malkin [2] defines them as follows:

  • The first goal of rheology is to search for stress-deformation relationships for various technological and engineering materials in order to solve macroscopic problems related to continuum mechanics of these materials;

  • The second problem consists in the establishment of relations between rheological properties of a material and its molecular composition. This goal is specific for microrheology, a trend founded by Reiner.
